I was in the same boat as @BGood , got my new ASUS router and hesitated to upgrade to Merlin after bricking a Linksys with DD-WRT but read that it's unheard of bricking an ASUS.
Only thing is I've never done any of the procedures mentioned prior to any upgrades. No resetting, no screens taken. Just hate the thought of having to reset all wireless devices and VPN clients back up.
I have yet to encounter any issues with any upgrade I installed.
Well if your not comfortable then stick to official builds. 384.2 has been great and rock solid for me on my 3100.
