SH4 Add On Version 1.5 - Need Patches?

Do I still need to download the 1.4 patches?

I have a dial up connection. Getting a large patch is not easy.
I bought SH4, on disk. Right now I play it Vanilla, not patched, version 1.0.

If I purchase the SH4 Add on (version 1.5) will I still need to have the 1.4 patch to correct all the bugs?
Or will I simply have to add the 'Add On', and it will automatically patch it up to date?

Another question.....I do not have an internet connection on my gaming machine. Will I have a problem with the 'secureurom' copyright protection?
Or can I just install the game and play without the thing wanting to 'phone home'?

I hated Starforce, and quite playing SHIII because of it. By the time UBI realized it ruined the game and came out with the Starforce 'fix', I was burned out with all the problems, and quit playing it. It left a bad taste. My concern is that SH4 doesn't follow in that line of intrusiveness.....making the game unpleasant....lockups etc.....I have no problems with SH4 right now, it runs fine, but has bugs I'd like fixed (Patch 1.4 will do that). Will the 'Add On' have any effect on this?
