When will there be a new update?

Question

I just purchased two Xperia Mini Pro phones.
I really like the phones and it said the updated to ICS is avaible right after connecting them to a PC.
The problem is that I read some topics here before deciding on upgrading and the missing or none working notification light is no go for me.
The whole reason I purchased Sony phones where because they had light notifications and most phones don´t. That and of course other features I like, like excellent camera and small phones. If you happen to receive important notifications you can´t check the phone every 5 minute when you leave the desk. Not being able to see notifications blinking its just a disaster. And Sony says this is to save battery? Honestly do you think this saves like hours of battery? I don´t think so and the feature is more important than anything else on a phone, if you leave the phone for a while or are in a noise enviroment its all you have  to check something new is coming your way.
I also read the camera is slow and has problems. Its pretty clear that Google has fixed most of this issues in Jelly Bean, you can´t see almost any new features but because most of the work is behind in the core, its called project butter for a reason. To make the ICS run as smoth as possible.
Would it not be smart for Sony to jump to Jelly Bean to fix the performance and most issues on this phones? That is maybe asking to much but at least if they can make ICS run stable.
My phones says there is an update available 4.1.B.0.431.
So I just denied the updates, until a new one comes, one that fixes the current issues.
I know its just to recent since Sony started to roll ICS, so bugs are expected. But I really hope they keep sending fixed and patches to make run as smoth without killing phone basic features like notifications, performance, camera, etc.
Please someone update this topic when there is a new updated after 4.1.B.0.431
I could not find a single changelog on Sony website so I can´t actually check when there will be a new update as there is nothing to compare with it either.

You mean on the phone or where? Sorry, I just got the phones.
From the phone itself it says there is no update. From the PC Companion it says there is a new version 4.1.B.0.431. available. I did not even set the language on phones, so there is really absolutely nothing on it. A full OS upgrade would be the smart thing to do.
But since I read most people have a slower experience on ICS, im really confused. If I had this phone months before of course I would just used what was available, but since I have both options now, what comes as stock and the update im a limbo about my decision. And since the update is very, very new. I could also say, give Sony a few weeks or months to get things right and then upgrade.
I don´t know why some people talk so great about ICS vs Gingerbread because what I see now on the phones is just amazing and very nice. I don´t see how it can be even better. Of course if performance is going to be an issue I prefer to wait. I don´t the phones now. I have my current phone so I can just put them on the box and wait until a stable release is available.
