Upgrading the CID from 51 to 52 gives you the option to flash the latest firmware versions available for your phone. I don't think it's a bad thing to upgrade your phone because it's performance will be improved.
If you look on TopSony download area you'll find three new firmware versions available for SE K550.

My advice is to upgrade your branded phone by Sony Ericsson Update Service first, and then flash a generic firmware version available for K550 in order to debrand the device.

New firmware versions available for K550 are:
- K550_R8AB001_RED52 with coresponding FS and CDA files;
- K550_R8AD001_RED52 with coresponding FS and CDA files;
- K550_R8BA024_RED52 with coresponding FS and CDA files;

The latest firmware version is K550_R8BA024.
You'll get the latest firmware version from S.E.U.S.
After SEUS upgrade, just flash the phone with K550_R8BA024_RED52 generic version with coresponding FS and CDA files containing your language packs.
To identify the coresponding region READ THIS FIRST.

GOOD LUCK! BE WELL!
