Root Best radio?

Hello all, I'm in the process of flashing CM7 to my bolt and was wondering if I should get a new radio as well. I'm currently using the MR2 radio and having no problems at all. Do the newer ones give any advantages? Or should I just wait till the GB radios come out?
 
If you're not having any problems with the MR2 radio I'd run with it.

I flashed the leaked 704 radio because the MR2 radio would not keep a solid data connection for shit and I got sick of seeing 'check your internet connection' messages.
 
I'm using the newest 704 radio and its been solid for me no data loss, transitions from 3g - 4g are on point also. IMO the best radio to date, but of course you'll hear different stories from user to user.

+1 I've had no issues with the 704 radio that I received on the others, I am now getting used to not seeing "Check your internet connection" pop up for every app I try that needs an internet connection :)
 
What they said ^

To add a little more, I was typing one handed, holding a pizza walking through the grocery store when I typed that.. I'd say if you're not having any issues with the MR2 radio, the official one, stick with it. I tried the new one because data was flakey and was willing to give anything a shot.

Seems most say the 704 leak is more stable with keeping a data connection, but you'll notice more of a battery drain the first few cycles after calibration. It gets better and currently is on par with the MR2 IMO.

Yeah the first few days I was on the 704 I was very tempted to revert back to the 627 due to the battery drain. But once it sets in the battery drain goes away. I would say that if the 627 radio is setting par the 704 just shot a birdie:)
 
I've seen others report something similar to that before. What rom were you running at the time? I haven't had any issues with the 704 but I have also been changing my rom every 48 hours at least.
 
Gineritiis 1.2 -newbase- then gingeritis 3d v and vi. Also 4G was testing slower as well. I have had no data connection issues with 604
