This is only my opinion based on my upgrading experience and some looking 
around at other peoples comments on Mac lists and Youtube.
You have a particular and good reason to upgrade and your machine can also have 
its RAM increased to 8Gb if my earlier post search is correct.
Personally I like the Yosemite upgrade though there are definitely some who 
don't, however it is not significantly different to Mavericks so for most it 
may not be a necessity unless, like yourself, you have a particular reason.
I don't know anything about Braille displays but assume it would integrate like 
a keyboard and not require a lot of internal processing as it will do this 
itself as an external bit of hardware.
I have a usb midi keyboard controller that is not causing any problems.

I would upgrade but others may have more to offer on this matter.

Hi
I have a question for you.  I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM and a 
duel  core processor.  If it were your machine, would you upgrade to Yosemite?
My problem is that I have preordered a Vario Ultra from Baum and it will only 
work with Yosemite.  I’ll have to cancel the order and look into another 
braille display if upgrading my Mac isn’t advised.
Thanks.
