Thanks for the quick response Me.B, wasn't aware CentOS 7 has 5.4 native.
Thought the PHP difference was a pretty simple change personally, as I had removed 5.3 and installed 5.4 with required and common modules while testing. Only significant issue was strapping Suhosin back into it, but aside from that everything seemed to run quite well on all fronts using CentOS 6. Though being that it was a relatively quick test I haven't messed with it all that much yet.
