Consolidated Firmware notes?

I just picked up a model 2 XTS5000 VHF and it has firmware V9 in it. Is there a consolidated list out there of what's been done over the different revisions? All I've found is some sporatic lists of individual updates. It is a model 2, so FPP isn't an option even if I have the flashcode updated (plus it has legit tags so I don't want to hack it to a model 3). I don't need it for trunking, so will I really gain anything with the newer firmware? There isn't a whole lot of P25 conventional stuff I would listen to, so I'm not that worried about the DSP side too much either. Should I save my money, or is there something out there that will knock my socks off?

Here is a list of info that I've been compiling over the years.. I really need to update it, as it's about 5 revisions behind. It still covers alot of the "meat & potatoes" revisions though..

That's perfect! That seriously needs to be made into a sticky :)

Looking through the list, it looks like it v11 got 200 scan lists and v12 upped it to 1000 channels. That would be the onlyr real reason I would need to upgrade it, but I doubt I'm going to get close to those limits now as it is. I'll have to check my codeplug to see what my current limits are.
