Ruby 1.8.7 vs Ruby enterprise

Question

From what I understand REE is better in terms of garbage collection and much faster when combined with Passenger.

Are there any downfalls of using REE as opposed to Ruby 1.8.7? Random bugs on REE? Compatibility errors? Not advisable for beginners?

This is the only result I found: Ruby Enterprise Edition vs Ruby 1.9

Any help would be appreciated.

if you are using rvm to develop, you can run your apps unit/functional and acceptance tests against multiple rubies and get an idea how your app will deploy under any interpreter.
