Yeah its best to stay on 4.82 Rebug until everything is compatible with 4.84. There will be alot of things that will stop working Webman Launchpad is one of them, but webman/irisman both have 4.84 support.

Most things do not need support as there been not real changes (functionality wise) to the firmware by sony.
So most things will work (they may not identify the 4.84 FW correctly but its just cosemtic.)

Here is a list of apps and CFW that are updated with 4.84 Support.

It is better to stay on lower cfw until some things catch up. but most of the essentials have caught up.
but also no urgency to update unless you want to checkout something like Cobra 8.00 (which is only on Starbuged at the moment)

So is there something special about this "Lite" Version? Can I use it even though I have the previous 4.82.1 version installed which isn't "Lite" at all?

The lite versions are just based on the regular CEX retail firmware so you don't get the debug features that are added to the REX versions. Most people will not need these, but 4.82 REX is still arguably the better firmware unless you really need to be on 4.84.

That said, we might not get a REX firmware unless a dev 4.84 firmware can be sourced.

Hmm I don't think I ever used a Rex version before, but it does sound abit interesting since I'm using the PS3 Trainer plugin on a few games through Cobra's functionality.
The more mod menus the better.

Yeah, that was already mentioned and I even followed up with the notion that one can't fault me considering his past.
