Personally, I found the 7.4 prebeta had a number of minor features that I
wanted. So far I haven't seen many things of particular interest to me
in 7.5. I haven't played with it yet, since there has been what appears
to be some pretty significant changes in some fundemental parts of 7.5
and as such there appears to be more risk than there was at this point in
7.4s release cycle.
Based on what I read about several of the "big" projects, it seems like
the difference between a June 1 beta and a July 1 beta is worth taking
the extra month to have a better chance at getting some of these projects in.
