If I wanted to KEEP fresh in this situation, I would need to use something like Titanium backup to restore just my apps/settings (not the actual system). Thanks!
Yes, that is correct. If you have Baked Snack Rom and do a Nandroid backup, then you install Fresh Rom. You can later restore your Nandroid backup and be right back at Baked Snack Rom like you never left.

Personally, I haven't used Titanium Backup to restore settings.
When you make a Nandroid backup, or a Rom Manager Backup, one of the files created is called data.img.
I simply restore that data.img file back and all my settings/apps return. I've used it across different roms and have not had any issues.

It's pretty simple to do, but you will need to download the Android SDK files.
Here's the post from OMJ's thread that explains it.
