We are in a very similar situation in that we are looking to migrate
from 7.4 to 8.3.  So seeing Scott's and Joshua's responses, I'm not sure
if we should go with 8.2 or 8.3.

Joshua, are you disagreeing with Scott, or are you simply stating that
if one is moving from 7.4 to 8.3, you should do extensive testing?  We
do plan to do so, but I just want to make sure I understand your post.
