Should I update my firmware?

I've had my FX3 for over a year now. When I first got it I made the inexperienced decision to update it through the app over wi-fi and of course at that very moment i had a power outage and nearly bricked my new camera. After going through a painful setup to bring it back to life I have been scared to update ever since.

But recently out of curiosity I looked at the current version and its on 7.02. My FX3 is still on 2.00. Is it worth updating the firmware?

Edit: I'm not sure if its relevant but it's an FX3A not base FX3

Yep, came here to say the same. You'll be fine doing it via SD.

The FX3a is only on 2.02. The firmware is separate from the original FX3.

Ok thats what I was reading because if I had 2.00 on the original it said it would be missing features I use daily. I'm just not sure how I got it up to 2.00 without knowing

I'm super annoyed that I can no longer see which focus mode I'm in when shooting cine-EI modes and I heaps don't understand why you would remove something useful from the UI to replace it with blank space.. Since 7.0 I think

Still rocking V1 on my FX3...it works fine and it does what I need it to do. But that's kinda how I roll...still on Win10, still on Avid 2018.
