Cloning after an upgrade?

Hi!

 

We currently perform  clones to our Dev and Test instances before each upgrade.  With the Washington upgrade, we also cIoned to Dev/Test after the upgrade.  I'm curious to know if others are also doing post-upgrade clones. What benefits have you seen, and are there any obstacles or drawbacks you've encountered with post-upgrade clones?

We clone our two sub-prod instances (Dev/QA) after an upgrade, and every release, so that when developing in Dev, we know we're building on top of a recent approximation of Prod, and there won't be any unexpected surprised caused by version discrepancies when we promote to QA then Prod.  We leave one other instance (sandbox) on the previous version for a couple of weeks in case it helps with troubleshooting any post-upgrade issues.
