Agree with you, my data was little old. Bottom line is that firmware "families" are for different customers needing to be on same level of FW "family" regardless of purchase date. There are many custom installations for T5xxx, and I as a customer may have requirement for specific family of FW. Sun has tried to be accommodating to all, and now they need to support it going forward.
From my experience it comes down to features and need for them. Assuming no bug forces you to upgrade.
