Also, that would require an upgrade to Mavericks, which, again, I'm apprehensive about making that my OS because I'm concerned some current functionality might be lost.
The functionality change when going from Mt. Lion to Mavericks is not as dramatic, as the upgrade from Snowleopard to Lion has been. But the newest GarageBand 10.0 is a completely different application - and older audio units and VST plug-ins will not work any longer. So you are right to be cautious. But you can leave GarageBand '11 installed after upgrading to the newest version.
