I am using Ubuntu 16. From the software archive I get MIT scheme 9.1. Is it worth to install the version 9.2 manually?

According to the release changes there ar no important enough changes to state them between 9.1 and 9.2. MIT Scheme is a R5RS and it's very unlikely that any version will not work if you keep to the R5RS standard and keep away from underspecifications.
There are lots of alternatives to MIT Scheme. I currently use DrRacket since it has a nice IDE interface, macroexpander tools and a debugger. You can switch between #!r5rs
, #!r6rs
, #!r7rs
(yeah!), and rackets own language #lang racket
making it very suitable for most needs.
