Unless you are having problems or the newer BIOS offers functionality you need it's better to stick with what works.

You could always flash to a previous version (backup your current version so you can revert to it in case the new one gives you problems). You should also check around the Abit forums and see if there is any mention of the particular BIOS revision you're planing to upgrade to.
