In 7.1, I believe the newer scheduler will be defaulted on in i386/amd64; I've been using it as shipped in 7.0-release and as it currently is in 7-stable, without any problems, and don't think there will be any major hicups in 7.1R from it. The FreeBSD has been rock solid stable on my machine, since the days of 6.0-Release, but as always YMMV.
Personally, I'd wait for 7.1 unless time is of the essence.
