The reason for migrating directly to 7.1.3 is clear, SAG support policy will force you to do so in a short timeframe.
The same happened when 7.1.2 was out, 7.1.1 ran out of maintenance.
If you are starting the migration process now, do it to a SP wich is now “obsolete” is an error.
Just my humble point of view.
