Solaris Postgresql 8.1.8 vs Postgresql 8.2.4

I am planning to set up a new solaris 10 sparc server with a postgresql database.

It looks like solaris 10 comes with version 8.1.8 of postgres.

Is there any benefit in using the 8.1.8 included solaris version over the current release.

The sun site mentions several enhancement to the solaris version. Do these enhancements outweigh
the features and bug fixes of newer postgres releases.

Thanks,
Simon

www.blastwave.com has a package for 8.2.3. You might look into that.
