FC5 -> FC6 - is a clean install or upgrade the best path?

Most recently on one of our servers I have upgraded from FC5
> FC6 and yes you
do not get all the "bells and whistles". What it
does is upgrade the core, and
rpm modules installed to the FC6 corresponding rpm's.  A
re-install will
definently be the best and give you all the bells and
whistles. However on our
one server that was upgraded to FC6 I have way to many
custom scripts and
configs to redo.  Was looking forward to the eye candy
provided from FC6.
However manually installing some of these nice additions
manually via yum
should not be an issue? Anyone have a "yum
install" list of what they have
done to make use of the extra's from FC6 after an upgrade
would be most
beneficial. 

On another note I have noticed a nice OS speed increase and
gui stability
within Gnome which is very nice!

cheers,


Jim Clarke
