I am running REV 2079 on one Classic and REV 1923 on my other two. What are the benefits of updating the firmware to REV 2096 on all three? Will going from 1923 to 2096 make any improvements (better power, more stable communications for example)

If you are running in Follow Me mode you should ideally have all controllers at the same firmware version. Review the Readme - Changes.txt file included with the latest firmware to view the changes and fixes between firmware versions.

Thanks. I downloaded it and didn't see a "Read Me" extension file. "Follow Me" mode is kinda-sorta working right now. Have it turned off...all charging volts set for the same values. "Solar" mode on my 2,400w array still hunts/ramps/cycles in the AM (volts dip down to 30 when they should be at 95-104) with partial shading...switched that to Legacy P&O mode and works much better...array volts/power stay up.

Good news: Updated all three Classic's to REV 2096. All three revisions took...no issues. Turned "Follow Me" back on...no issues. The Classic with the "ramping" issue was put back on "Solar" mode. Voltages are now stable with that partial AM shading along the fenceline. Local APP came right back up. Did everything "by the book" on a Windows 10 machine. Initial impressions are good.
