Good afternoon. Unless you have an absolute need, something only Catalina can do and Mojave is lacking, I would suggest holding off. I'm surprised at how buggy Catalina is and it has made my system temperamental and more difficult to use. Until they come out with the next update to Catalina and it shows more stability, maybe stick with Mojave if it's working for you. I definitely wish I had.
