Should I stick with stock ROM (6.5) ?

From my Axim days, I used to flashing a new ROM every 5-6 months. Of course that was mainly due to the fact that original Axim was running WM5, so the only way to get the goodies on 6.1 was through custom ROMs. They (Footbal's and Lenny's) were pretty good.

Well, from what I read, Sprint's stock ROM - at least the 6.1 - is supposed to be excellent, at least from stability standpoint. The 6.5 that shipped with my phone is also pretty stable, from what I can see.

To me, the main reason to flash the ROM would be not to get some cutting edge eye candy. I would flash if it offered improvements in stability, speed, battery performance, memory management and available space without any nasty surprises.

So, what do you think ? Should I go the flash route, or should I just tweak the stock system ? Again - I am used to flashing custom ROMs, and don't need to be convinced that this may be a great improvement. The question is, will it be in this case.
