Time to leave redhat 7.2 :( Which Distro

OK, So over the last weeks, i've come to realize that managing updates over a dozen redhat 7.2 linux boxes is becoming very time consuming - I've considered creating a centralized system to issue updates to our servers, but between different hardware, software versions and having to manually read security lists (which I dont mind) and then issue the updates it's a job I'd rather not have to deal with for now.

So my question is this:
We run our own control panel SimpleCP, which I wrote. Its based on redhat 7.X. I'm very good with redhat 7.X and I'd like a distro which is server ready and has pretty much the same environment as RedHat 7.X - the little changes I can learn quickly.

Another big thing would be the ease of changing to the new OS with as little downtime as possible.

I've considered Fedora but I'd rather be on the stable edge than the latest developments which is what Fedora is.

Aside from RedHat/Fedora I'm not too familiar with the particular distros so any advice/links would be appreciated.

Thanks!
