Miss the good ole saturday morning cartoons. Thanks for you response. I'm on OMJ 1.4 and curious about trying a ROM with the latest sprint updates but very scared with all the issues I see people having. Knowing I can restore my ROM to the way I have it now makes me feel a little braver.

To clarify, I'm pretty new to all the stuff, and I don't know all the correct lingo.
When you rooted your phone with part 1, you changed an img file. I think it's the "hboot_0.79.0000.img" or the "boot.img" file but I'm not sure. Anyways, that is what allowed you to have root access. Then if you did the Full-Root you also changed the recovery.img. If you're rooted and you have the correct recovery.img, you have total control.
The OTA re-writes the files you changed in part 1 of rooting. So, you can no longer change part 1 and therefore can't get to part 2.
If you do the OTA, I don't know if you can do a Nandroid restore. I would assume "No." However, even if you did do a Nandroid restore, the files needed to have root access wouldn't be changed. You'd be stuck w/ whatever version of those files the OTA gave you.
Hope that's clear as mud.
