I too recently made the jump to 9.2.1 and did so from a couple of different versions of plesk.
Overall, I have to say I am glad I waited because the 9.x bravehearts did all the nasty testing. 9.2.1 seems pretty tight I have to say. Granted, this is in regards to those areas that were specific to me. Mostly Joomla and CRMs like vTiger and Sugar. Make no mistake, not easy to maintain (Joomla is an admin's nightmare, but a great tool for end users).
Ok, so what to look for:
-Postfix has some issues.
-Use Message Submission option for port 587.
-The new greylisting is working fine so far, had to take down qgreylisting as it was server wide and clients complained.
-Backup and Restore/migration overall was fantastic I must say. not perfect, but overall I moved from one server to another seemlessly. My stats, my emails, everything. Right over the ether! not a problem other than some little things like having to run /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a -v after a restore (just do it, trust me).
-Reseller feature is nice and powerful, but I don't use. It will be nice for clients who like to add their own domains though.
-FastCGI - See my post
http://linkzuki.com/1a Very promising, but if you need per domain php.ini settings of any kind, don't expect to use your vhost.conf file out of the box to do so. I was so excited about this feature until I got stumped trying to do per domain php.ini settings.
-Email has a lot more features.
-I would pass on ATMAIL, I wasn't impressed. Especially with the new skin for Horde (wpa something or other).
I'm using 1and1, stock image off their server, then installed yum from scott and fired an update. I was going to do the server reconfigure as per his CentOS dilio, but I was trying to just stay "stock" for testing purposes.

If you ask me, all I can tell you is that I am not interested in 8.x anymore and I won't be going back.
Good luck to you!
PS: Here are some notes that I kept during my process. I hope this helps someone else.
----Also, to prevent ART from blowing out qmail---
There is a bug in the way they mark up the "driver" packages in the RPM database. No matter what you're running (qmail, or postfix) the opposite will look like an update. What we ended up adding to the plesk.repo was this:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/plesk.repo
exclude=psa-mail-qc-driver*
if you're running postfix, that would exclude qmail as the upgrade. Removing that line and running "yum update" is all you'd need to do to convert from postfix to qmail, or vice versa.

#Switch between Postix and Qmail
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-release-current --install-component qmail
or
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-release-current --install-component postfix

Put your own ip for the machine in the ()'s or whatever note you want. I am on a bunch of boxes, so it's nice to know which is which. I like to have the IP address handy for cut /paste.
