Depending on how long the live show is, then the beta may see you through the night. However, I use it for 6/7 hour shows and usually end up with a couple of crashes. as long as you save your progress quickly and have another source to mix to then you can prevent major upsets.
Otherwise, v2 will be stable enough under rosetta hopefully, it was while i was performing with it.
At the end of the day, if you know you want 2.5 and are just waiting for the final release, you may may as well buy it now, test v2 and then test v2.5 while rehearsing and decide if they are stable enough for you. If they're not, you will get v2.5 when it is released anyways.
At the very least, having it now will allow you to render material down into Arkoas if you choose not to use it!
All the best,
Andy
