Great..(i guess ) ...What are the benefits from such a migration, if i can ask?

The answer is in the http headers:

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.9

No more having to run on a several-years obsolete version of PHP.

Karlos,
You for got to mention that the site is still running. Which would not have happened if we had been on Xoops.

That was implicit, really. The hosting was going to be upgraded to 5.x regardless, which was one of the principal motivations in dumping XOOPS in the first place. That and the fact there wasn't a suitable upgrade path from the installed version of XOOPS to the latest version (specifically the additional modules) that would run fine on 5.x.

One benefit that might become apparent is that the site will probably be a bit faster now that it's running under PHP5. The Zend engine underwent a major overhaul. Using object oriented code is significantly more efficient performance wise under v5 than v4 and the libraries that interface to mysql were improved quite a bit too.

@Argo

Off topic, but is there any particular reason you wish to have your software/website usage tracked and available for all and sundry to pour over?

Isn't it a  bit soon? The poor guy probably isn't even cold yet.
