8.6 to 9.1 Upgrade Issues and/or advantages?

Not applicable
I work for a small business that has purchased the upgrade from 8.6 to 9.1 for servers and options they own  (SQL and Exchange inclued) yet is reluctant to implement. 
 
If it aint broke.... 
 
What gets improved and are there any pitfalls you know of?
 
Any experiences out there that you are willing to share? 
 
The path to Version 12 is currently economically not feasible.
