When another project tried to convert from Buildbot 0.8 to 0.9 earlier this year, it was a total disaster and had to be reverted. I don't know if 0.9 has improved substantially since then.
My experience is that 0.9 invested a lot of effort to make the UI pretty, but it was much less usable. It also placed an order of magnitude higher computational burden on the master. An under-powered master could not be effectively queried and builds started to fall behind.
