Overall JF won't give you a 2-digit improvement, so in your case I would switch to 1500 MTU.

I already updated the firmware of the NICs few weeks ago. The switch

completely different model without effect before (maybe 6 months ago).
There are no other systems which are using jumbo frames attached to the
switch.
