At the end of the day, I recommend for anyone upgrading to 9.2 to do a fresh install and restore the config. There are key changes that the install does from the previous version, such as change the pagefile size from 1gb to the size of the ram installed. While yes it will work upgrading, but fresh is always best as you start with a clean slate.
Are there any other changes that you know of where a fresh install would be beneficial (vs just doing the upgrade route)?

Yes, as I said the page file is one - see the release notes:
[General] During installation, SWAP file size will now be set to match the system memory (this is a change from a default of 1GB for all installations).
I am not sure of others, but there is a lot of new advancements and updated features for the entire system.
Its like with any new Service Pack that comes around, while yes it works. Nothing beats a fresh install as it is better than an upgraded install. Any tweaks, or advancements done under the hood are set and applied from the begining.
