For $20.00 I'm tempted to load Mountain Lion on our 27" iMac running Lion... I really don't like Lion very much so how much worst could it be.

Or how much worse, either?

IMHO, it's no worse than Lion if you get past the bugs.

And most of the bugs seem to be related to pref's and cache files from an earlier version of the OS.

For example, the terrible slowdown and intermittent Internet issues that many users experience after upgrading can be circumvented by cleaning out ~/Library/Caches and rebooting. (Unfortunately, Apple hid the ~/Library folder, but you can get to it by holding down the Option key when clicking on the "Go" menu in the Finder... and please take care not to empty out the Caches folder from the regular /Library folder!)

So, I suggest doing a clean install and (if necessary) manual-migration if you want to go for Mountain Lion.

Don't count on any older apps to run on it.
