Really, I've been using the 1.8 SneakyPeeks for 6+ months and I can't recall a crasher. In pretty much every case, the 1.8 Sneaky Peeks have fewer bugs or issues than 1.7.5. Now while it is still pre-release, and there are the usual caveats, I've found in general that Omni's betas tend to be as stable or more stable than other folks' "release" software.

So sure, you can wait if you want. Or you can ensure you have a good backup and give it a try. It's not so bad ;-)
