Default Warranty replacement: Send back with 2.3.4 or ICS?

If you are sending in a GS2 for warranty, do they care if it's sent back with 2.3.4 or ICS? I remember most saying they just check to see if it powers on and don't really look at version or anything like that.

Odin to 2.3.4 is much quicker than Odin and then Kies

I don't see why it would matter. As long as there is no trace of being rooted and you have the stock rom on there, you're probably good either way.

Well you have a few months to get it repaired for free if you have another phone lying around...

Went back to 2.3.4 and tried to update with Kies to ICS just in case. I forgot how horrible Kies is. Issue after issue. Just left it at 2.3.4. I'll probably send it off that way or considering flashing UCLE5 tar to get it to ICS. Although I'm quite not in the mood to deal with that.
