If I click on PROFILE / EDIT I am prompted to "rollover profile to 2009" (the profile I am using was created in 2008). Does updating the profile to the current year simply delete the '08 and earlier data? Is there any downside to not rolling over the profile?

Yes, since ESPlanner does not deal with the past, the rollover advances data into the next year.
If you're not ready to do the rollover, you can set the year to 2008 in customize.
