asterisk users - Sep 2010 - Snom phones recommended firmware

We're using firmware 7.3.30 on an installation of Snom 300 phones.
Should we stick with it, or do the newer firmwares have better support
for Asterisk?

Thanks

So what is it that you are missing that firmware 8 does offer? 7.3.30 is 
rather stable and therefore a good choice. 

Actually I would say this works the other way around and you could 
consider moving to Asterisk 1.8 soon to better match the Snom capabilites 
(some keywords: SRTP and TLS, P-Asserted header, AOC).

That said there are interesting features that firmware 8.4.11/17 added:
* support for 802.1X with eap-md5.
* support for LLDP-MED (Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint 
Discovery).
