Just got some phones that were never activated on "N900PVPUBMI3". Should I Keep?

I just got some phones on "N900PVPUBMI3" firmware. This is amazing. What are the odds of getting note 3's with first stock firmware.

Should I upgrade them all the way to "N900PVPUEOK2" or keep them the way they are?

Is there security problems with this? If you don't care about your data is it cool?

What do you guys think?

I'd keep them as they are and have them unlocked in only the hacky way that you can unlock sprint phones. You might be able to get some use or extra money out of them then...? I just wish I'd have waited to buy the Note 3 till I figured out what I was doing about switching cellular plans this month. I'm on a Sprint MVNO right now but want to switch to T-Mobile. These phones aren't very friendly when it comes to trying to unlock them I may have to get a completely different one if I want to stick with the Note 3. So, my advice is to try to unlock them as-is.
