The main difference (having run both) is that 4.1.4 has a very nasty leak
in the sockets code. My production ANS 500 would run out of memory after
awhile because of all the sockets it opened and closed. 4.1.5 fixed this bug
and others.

Also, a lot of software that is 4.1-compatible requires 4.1.5 at minimum,
such as the few AIX games that are floating around. (I was recently able
to coerce my 500 into playing Quake and Abuse, but only because it has
4.1.5 and I happen to have an Ultimedia option CD.)

For that reason, while I appreciate Glen's offer, I really do need a 4.1.5
on CD; 4.1.4 won't do for my purposes.

But if you just want to mess around with AIX, 4.1.4 is perfectly cromulent.
