You probably will not see any problems with the older BIOS, but at least in our case, we were seeing MCE's in the IML logs on that older BIOS, so you still may encounter problems running the older Dell BIOS, maybe just not as frequently.  I looked back at old PSODs since we try to take screenshots of them and I was seeing PF #14 PSODs going way back.  We also had some outdated drivers and firmware that may have contributed to those problems, which is why we kept on upgrading BIOS revisions.

The older Dell BIOS may be a the best short term to make the pain go away, but there still are some microcode bugs that would be present in that older release.  Hopefully Dell will try to duplicate the problem given the information you forwarded on to them and provide the microcode update in a new BIOS release.
