I did an upgrade and I'm considering wiping and doing a fresh install when I get some time. This is my primary work machine (it's a personal laptop but all my work stuff is on it) and so I'm hesitant to take any chances or do anything that could mess with my work timelines on projects.

I actually am in the same boat. Primary machine, both personal and projects on it. It is a lot of work to do a fresh install. It eats up a day and I do not have that. I was paying big bucks to Apple to solve this for me. Don't you think so?

Agreed. I don't want to have to worry about shit like this. When I use Windows I would ALWAYS do a clean install and almost always do a clean install every few months because I run my machines hard (installing tons of stuff to try out then removing it). With OS X I didn't have to worry about this and have saved a TON of time not having to rebuild my computer with each release. I expect better from Apple.
