Okay I have just flashed this firmware and will get back with any improvements, apparently it does improve battery life when the phone is in idle along with some gps fix as well (I never experienced that but I haven't used it for any long journeys, yet)
Anyway I used the instructions from XDA forum which I'll paste here too, but all credit goes to the OP from XDA.
Download from: http://xdafileserver.nl/Xperia 201... Xperia S/
Filename: LT26i_6.0.A.3.73_SG_Generic.ftf

NO ROOT REQUIRED, NO BOOTLOADER UNLOCK REQUIRED, WILL NOT VOID WARRANTY
You can flash this without losing any data!
If you uncheck the "wipe userdata" box in Flashtool before flashing, you will not lose any data. You can convert from any customization to this one without any problems!
To flash this, follow the following steps:
For starters, make sure you have Flashtool installed. If you have issues with Flashtool, make sure you also have PC Companion or Sony Update Service installed.
Download the .ftf file to your computer and place it in the Flashtool\Firmwares folder.
Open Flashtool and click the lightning bolt in the menu bar.
Select Flashmode and click OK
Select the right firmware in the left column (LT26i_6.0.A.3.73_SG_Generic.ftf).
Check or uncheck "Wipe User Data". If selected, all user data will be deleted. If you want to update or change customization without losing data, uncheck it.
Click OK and wait for the instruction to unplug the device, ...
Turn your phone OFF, and plug it in while keeping the volume down button pressed.
Follow the steps in the main window of Flashtool, wait until the flashing is done.
I've tested this on my device and works fine.
Note: I'm providing this as it is and I'm not responsible if something goes wrong! Flash it at your own risk!!
Hope this helps some of you, feel free to ask any Q's
