So got the 4.0.4 update today...
Have to say, its A LOT better than the original 4.0.3 update. Much smoother! Hoping battery improves, as the batter in 4.0.3 suffered a bit compared to when my neo v was on gingerbread!
Very happy! Good work with the updates Sony!

Neo V. It, along with Arc S and Ray got a 4.0.3 update first. So I was glad to see these phones got the update to 4.0.4 as well. (thankfully I didnt have to wait long)
Anyway, now that Arc users are getting 4.0.4, id say yes, definitely update. If it was 4.0.3, I would have said wait for a firmware update. It simply wasnt smooth for the most part, and battery suffered a little.
4.0.4 is, as I said, a lot smoother from what I have seen so far. Too early to say about battery. Couple new apps (Media Remote, Power Save Mode).
Is it 'faster' than the latest Gingerbread ROMS which the 2011 xperias had? Probably not. My Neo V seemed a little quicker/smoother with gingerbread. Again, though, 4.0.4 is much better than 4.0.3 so far for me, and I think users will be happy....
RE Screen shots. Things havent changed a whole lot cosmetically.
Ill see if I can take a video. No promises though, bit busy!

Is there a lag in video recorded clips, like in 4.0.3?

Here is a video with Android 4.0.4 on Xperia Pro:

Can anyone give me a valid answer why our Xperia's aren't going to get officially XS music player, equalizer, improved widgets, menu and submenus? And if so, why did they change the dock background, camera UI and icons to XS one? They just don't match together. The UI is total mess, as it was in 4.0.3. I hoped it was temporary, but it seems I was wrong. Why can't we get Xperia GX's 4.0.4 UI?

And what comes next - HD video example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QewNHqRSO8Y
This is the worst HD camera recording I've ever seen.
Well, in case I still hadn't fully convinced myself that my Pro will be my last Sony phone, the latest Sony decisions and moves just did the job. I just give up. I lost any hope in Sony.

Just updated my Live to 4.0.
Seems smooth so far. Liking it 
I'm just relieved I didn't lose any apps/data/settings etc.

@caff111 nope  and I can add that (at least for the Mini Pro) the update is really good, works perfectly and new UI is totally new with some nice improvements... I mean, after all those critics I was really skeptical, but Sony did a great job I think that from these models one couldn't want more than what this upgrade brings, they also removed that stupid PopCap Games app
