Question:
So this method puts RA's recovery on the device, is there any downside to switching to ClockworkMod's recovery? I went ahead and bought "Rom Manager" and didn't realize it would not work with this recovery. Any thoughts on the differences between the two and if its safe to just let Rom Manager d/l and flash the clockwork recovery?
Thanks!

Rom Manager is perfectly fine.
Also, if you open Rom Manager, you can scroll to the bottom and there is an option to "Flash Alternate Recovery" (RA Recovery v1.7.0.1)
I find Rom Manager is easier to backup/restore, but I also like to clear the Dalvik-cache every time I flash and the Rom Manager app does not do that. If you go into the ClockworkMod recovery screen there is an option to clear Dalvik in the Advanced section, but I'm pretty sure the app itself doesn't clear Dalvik when you flash a rom. Even if you check to clear cache/factory reset, I don't think it's referring to the Dalvik cache.
