dbms_stats now that we are at 9.2

Now that we are at 9.2 I can evaluate if we should go to dbms_stats now. There were enough bugs that nailed us with it that we had to stay with analyze before.  

I'm also looking for a script that may allow me to build a:  

BEGIN   SYS.DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS (       OwnName => 'SYSADM'

     ,TabName => 'PS_FI_IVOL_R00'

     ,PartName => 'PS_FI_IVOL_R00_07'

,Granularity => 'PARTITION'

,Method_Opt => 'FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS SIZE 1 '

,Degree => 4

,Cascade => TRUE

,No_Invalidate => FALSE);

END; /  

I'd like something where perhaps I could run a "@do_stats_partn owner table partition"  

I'll be tinkering with something soon, but maybe someone already has it and can save me the time.  

So, has anyone found a whole world of difference/improvement once they converted to dbms_stats. Our past problems were almost all partitions...
