Magic Lantern for 5D mark II

I had a 60D and never installed ML because they were still in Alpha. I recently bought a 5D Mark II. Is ML working stable and recommended for this camera? As long as there's no chance of my camera breaking (2,000 bucks is too much for me!), the ML capabilities appear extremely useful and definitely worth the installation.

Would appreciate feedback from anyone who uses it on this camera.

One guy can say stable, one guy can say not stable. The manual says "this can damage your camera" so take that as you will. If the program gets stuck in a loop, it can overheat and damage your camera. If that worries you, just remove the battery after each shoot.
 
I have been using AJ 5.7 on 2 5D's for the last 3 weeks. I have had no issues whatsoever. I could never go back to using a stock 5D. SOOOOOO many useful features. Also, it has yet to brick a camera.

How can you tell if this happens while your camera is off?

Geeze, that much better? You notice a quality increase from the extra bitrate?

There is no noticeable quality increase per say, however all of the other features you get are invaluable. IE crop marks, zebra, etc.
