Huh. Well, I'd expect that someone could upgrade from 10.7 to 10.8.
I've got VMs that I use in VMWare Fusion that are 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9. My work Mac is on 10.8.5 with a boot partition of 10.9 for Xcode 6 and all my personal Macs are on 10.6.8.
Honestly, I don't know why you couldn't upgrade from 10.7 to 10.8, unless Apple somehow prevents you from doing that.
Honestly, I find that Mavericks bleeds over into an ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) inducing interface, with too many elements in the interface moving, flying, swooping, growing, sliding, shrinking, bouncing and rubberbanding that it is waaaaaay too distracting for me to use, considering I can't turn all the superfluous animations off.
Honestly, Lion crossed that border for me and was actually infuriating to use until I found the switches to turn these distractions off.
If these issues are also important to you, Mavericks is worse. Mountain Lion is just a little worse, but all in all, it's faster, more stable, and much more pleasant to use than Lion.
