New LG G5, firmware advice?

[abramsgunner]

I just picked up a refurbed LG G5 and it is loaded with 6.0.1 dated 03-01-2016.

Seeing as how there is a huge thread on how poorly nougat is implemented on the G5.... Should I stay on 6.0.1 or apply some level of updates?

PS: I'm on pageplus so I don't think I will get OTA updates... I assume there is a method to update over USB?

I'm downloading both VS98715A (last MM) and VS9872EA (latest Nougat), along with the usb drivers and LGUP software. Unless someone suggests otherwise, my plan will be to update to the 15A for now and use the phone for awhile. I need to do some more reading about Nougat as the current threads don't exactly give me the "warm fuzzies".

Let me know if you are happy with Nougat...

PS. My Galaxy S5 is still on a rooted version of Lollipop so even MM will be a bit of an upgrade.
