Hi Lenny,
Unless you make very simple, thin PCBs the change is highly recommended.
However, Tg is not the whole story, you also should choose a material with a 
Td(5%) of >= C and a thermal expansion TE(50<=>260C) of <=3.2% . Generally, 
you should pick a material with an STII>=215 [the STII combines the effects of 
Tg, Td and TE].
If you want to get some background and other suggestions, I would recommend 
you get my White Paper: "Recommendations for PCB FAB Notes and Specifications 
in Printed Circuit Board Drawings for SnPb and Lead-Free Soldering Assemblies, 
the Qualification of PCB Shops and Activities to Assure Continued Quality.
