Upgrade the server to 1.94 I have been using 1.94 for Invasion! and carrier battles and then having PBW process under 1.91 and its all worked without a hitch so I see no reason not to upgrade the PBW server completely to 1.94

I don't think that's quite the issue. All that proves is you can run 1.91 savegames on 1.94. What we all need to figure out is if you can run 1.94 savegames on 1.91, without hitch. As Renegade said, not everyone on dialup has the patch. Probably a lot of people who don't check message boards or MM's site that are oblivious to the existence of a patch.
But, since 1.94 Deluxe versions seem to play well with 1.91 Gold produced savegames, I would say the best route would be to keep PBW as-is for a while, until there can be a little more testing. Or, you could try archiving everything in the current Gold directory in one gigantic zip file (or RAR, to keep the Vorlon happy about 'superior compression technology') and apply the patch. If something breaks, it's as simple as extracting out the archive to get the backup.
