If the final MX21 iso has different themes, icons, preset configs, or default applications, those won't turn up in your installation. Configs especially, since your $HOME/ configs and dot files aren't changed upon any updates.
If you don't care about that for your own usage, then you will have some sort of updated MX21.
But if because of this, members decide they will no longer test the next beta to further refine the final release, then it would be a shame.

Thanks, as I was interpreting dolphin’s “we won't change any settings that are in the home folder.” to mean
it wouldn’t change anything in my home folder in the beta to the final.
Perspective, that seems obvious now that you pointed it out.
Would the Release Candidate potentially have the same issues/differences as the final, albeit less so?
Or, should I just wait for the final release if I want my install to be "about" the same?
Not sure what
this refers to in the following comment:
“But if because of this, members decide they will no longer test the next beta to further refine the final release, then it would be a shame.”
Would you like me to help test the beta?
I’m not very knowledgeable with linux, so I thought I might actually hinder the testing feedback.
Either way, I now at least have some idea as to how betas may update – thanks.
