I have a mongoose and drop the $50 for a two-day license every few months to update everything. (I got into this when Ford took forever to roll out the original Bluecruise on my '21 Powerboost) There are so many little annoyances that get fixed in updates that it almost feels like a new truck every time I update. The two biggest examples recently:
1) BC 1.4: Better than I've ever seen at staying locked into lanes, but the biggest win that no one is talking about is the speed prediction going into curves (even in just ACC mode). I can set the speed at 55mph on the twistiest highway and it will slow to the appropriate speed before each curve almost every time (depends on the map data). Very nice!
2) Apple Map routing now displays the miles to the next stop in the IPC under the range number (just like the built-in navigation). This is really helpful especially since now Apple Maps displays the final SOC% at the destination instead of miles (which is extremely useful, too).
If Ford were more religious about pushing out these updates, I think most owners would be much happier.
My $0.02.
