how many working hours needed to upgrade from 1.38 to 1.50? big risk?

thank you so much guys... this upgrade looks like a big headache. i was thinking... what if i build 1.5.0 in another folder with a new db from scratch, will it be possible to load the existing users, their address books, orders/products/prices etc into it later, and then rename the folder back into where the store was before? i already did converted the existing database once from xcart into zen-cart last year... we cant have down time and it looks like if ill go with upgrade ill have to close the store at least for several days.

You will have a problem with the new Ultimate SEO URL disappearing from the admin following the DB upgrade (which-ever upgrade method you use). See my post # 27 here:

By far, getting Ultimate SEO URL working properly took the longest...although I have a little more rebuilding to (hopefully) sail through.
