Just wanted to update anyone who cares. I got my SGSII in the mail last week and I immediately rooted and flashed CyanogenMod 7 nightly #116. Its lightning fast, stable and I love how clean and light it is. It hasn't been updated in over a week mainly due to the almost complete lack of complaints on this build. If you have been riding the fence on whether or not to try out CM7, I say try it, I think you'll like it. You can download the nightly here:

I get to play with this phone for about another 6 weeks and then I'm headed back to the US. I hope by the time I get back they have CM for the Sprint Epic Touch 4G. (fingers crossed)
