hi,
i'll upgrade a cisco 9200 switch and noticed there's two flavors: plain IOS-XE and with NPE. which one do i choose?

cat9k_lite_iosxe.16.12.04.SPA.bin
cat9k_lite_iosxe_npe.16.12.04.SPA.bin
per checking NPE, we don't run IPSEC or SSL VPN on the switch. is safe just to go with the plain IOS-XE (without the NPE)?
