Any opinions on the stability of versions 12-14? I need to upgrade before April, the cutoff date for downloading, and can go with any of the newer versions. Would prefer v12 or 13 due to pricing, but don't know if there is any concensus on which versions are less buggy than others. I'm assuming that there are negligible improvements in any version, so correct me if not true.

If you had to upgrade now, I would say that Q2013 is the best bet at this point in time.
But you don't have to decide now, and if you want to try Q2014, I definitely would not purchase it now. I would wait until February/March to be certain the product will have had its final patch before you have owned it for 60 days ... giving you the opportunity to return it for a full refund.
If you use budgeting much, plan for significant changes there, no matter which version you choose.
