[VPN] BEFSX41 v2-pkg40109A Firmware and VPN

Hi folks,I've been reading all the threads regarding the different firmware versions and the problems and issues involved with each. I must say, it certainly is a can of worms.
I have just gotten 2 BEFSX41 v2-pkg40109A and need to know which firmware version is the most stable for a permanent VPN tunnel between the 2 routers. This is for a business and I can't be troubleshooting and rebooting/resetting these routers all the time.
I only need to use PPPoE, forward a few ports and use the VPN tunnel features.

Bottom line: What do you pro's think is the best firmware to go with considering the options needed?? Any replys are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'd say 1.45.7 is the consensus choice for PPPoE users: »[wired] Recap: BEFSX41 Stable Firmware, but we really don't have much solid evidence either way that 1.45.7 is always better than 1.51.00 for DSL.

I'm using 1.45.7 using PPPoE. My VPN is rock stable using the same settings for the SX41 that were specified for a Sentinel-SX41 tunnel: »pages.infinit.net/flogator/ They work just fine between two SX41s as well. Also I have one port forwarded without any problems.
