8.1.x is quite capable. There are a few things in 8.2.x that led me
to upgrade, like the returning functionality. If you're just starting
development of a project, going to 8.2.5 makes sense as it will be one
less future upgrade you'll need to do. It's definitely stable enough
to use in production.
