Looking for advice on crashing - finish project first or update to X3e now?

Hey ya'll.  So i'm getting some crashed near the end of some tunes that have large amounts of plugins and tracks.  
If i do a bounce (mixdown) to track, or play the song live, or do a slow bounce (32bit or 64bit) i get the same thing.
A bounce will end before completion and announce that it had to abort the process.
A playback of the project will drop out and stop playing at the same point in the tune(s).
I have X3c. 
So i have an idea - i want to update to X3e and see if the crashes continue.
 
The problem is, i am in the middle of finishing an album project (final mixes), and want to know if it's a good idea to switch to X3e from X3c mid stream?  On the other hand if it doesn't help, nothing is lost.
I just don't want to make matters any worse...
Should i update to X3e hoping it might fix the crashes, or sort out the crashing and finish the album before updating to avoid additional issues?  What would you do?

    I would. Others may think differently. Actually, I don't see what you have to lose.
     
    If you do decide to update be sure to reset and rescan your plugins. 

    Best

    I would update to X3e. This is different than upgrading versions mid-project which I would not recommend.

    Update to X3e. This is the best version that I've use so far.

    Ok, thanks guys.  If it did make things worse, not that it's likely, can i roll back to X3c fairly easily?

    Set a system restore point before updating. Update to X3e, run the project, see what happens.
    • If it's better, cool.
    • If it's worse, roll back to the system restore point.
    • If there's no change, keep X3e because it will offer other benefits that may not be initially obvious with your current project.
