So after re-installing NFSFAN no theme rom and re-installing a handful of apps, I found that my phone was more responsive then DH's Black Vista.

I don't know anything about DHarvey's ROM, but the differences you note in performance are likely due to either different bases, different cache settings, or different app version. I would guess that DHarvey's is older than NFSfans on this particular day, but that may be different tomorrow.

As far as how the apps work and what's included, that obviously is a function of app version and chef ability/desire to tailor. GPS lock speeds are purely a function of how recent the ROM base is.

I really enjoy the works of the cooked ROMS as it seems to bundle all the favorite apps into one install. However having said that, the bundled favorite app of the ROM might not be your favorite app and thereby become another bloatware.

Unless another must-have feature comes about (in this case REV-A and GPS),

Every rom made in the last several months is REV-A and GPS enabled.

I doubt I will be flashing my ROMS again as it usually entails having to hunt for all my apps and re-installing them one by one. I have lost my favorite game suduku and now I will have to find the cab again..... suduku where are you?

Exactly why a lot of people choose to use the kitchen. Your choice of apps, your setup. Upgrading to the lastest base and app versions are almot trivial. The hardest part is knowing how to setup your today screen the way YOU want it. If people would make theme OEMs (much like colonel and Nex have), you could sample different UI configurations easily as well.

Once you get your custom configuration in a kitchen, you never go back to a premade ROM.
