Well, I have used PhantomRom, StarROM and Copper ROM. WM 6.5 does seem pretty stable. But, after using just plain simple WM 6.5 (Copper) I felt that I really miss TF3D and so, I installed back the Rhodium manilla... Everything working great. Then, I felt the only difference betweek WM 6.1 + TF3D and WM 6.5 + TF3D that I see is the smooth scrolling, start menu and the appearance of the scrollbars. (Please tell me guys if I missed something) and I personally didnt feel that the snapier feel for WM 6.1 is worth sacrificing for these minor things. So, finally switched back to Juicy 6 that comes with Rhodium manilla.

So, my suggestion is that if you wanna try something new, intead of finding a ROM with WM6.5, find one with Rhodium manilla or even better, get a Star ROM or PhantomROm that are WM 6.5 + Rhodium manilla, or get copper and install cabs yourself and see if you still get a charm of WM 6.5..

21501+ series is the true 6.5 core; don't judge 6.5 by the test builds. it is faster than 6.1

I'm assuming this is the version you will use in your build... Can't wait!
