I don't need all the eye-candy of the sense UI, particularly if I can trade that for performance and customization. I've been aware of MS since my days of yore with a Treo 700p, although I never tried it.

I feel that with today's hardware, there is plenty of system resources to make it fly and MS is likely the best option to get me the performance I want.

So my question is not really to MS or not to MS, I will in fact try it and most likely make it my default.

The question is really, do I use a custom ROM underneath to enhance MS stability/performance.

All the gee-wiz performance hog crapware and UI drives me crazy. I want speed and flexibility, and will sacrifice all the animations for them.

I have a few killer apps that I'd like to include in a core ROM, and I'm wondering if its worth the trouble of getting into ROM flashing, or whether I should just install on my stock ROM add MS and my killer apps.

Hence the question I posted, soliciting responses from MS users who have used with and without custom ROMs.

Thanks
I think ms works well with every rom I've tried(about , but , and I'll probably catch crap for this, I think the vzw oem rom is the most stable, quickest, reliable etc etc of any rom out there. I'm running the oem now after yet again switching back from custom for stabilitry issues. I have it set the way I like /need it and I'm running ms as my ui. It runs circles around tf3d(sense) for functionality,stability and ease of use, not to mention all the options it has on board. Your with sprint? I hear that rom is also very good. I was stuck with the oem for 2 months until the unlocker was finished and released. I went flash crazy trying them all and always come back to oem. I'll try more, but have yet to find one as stable as oem stock. I think you'll like ms, no matter which rom you end up with as spb really got it right. All their apps are very good.
