Why use SPB Mobile shell with custom roms out?

[quickstang]

Here is what my screen looks like....


I as well have this question of...Why upgrade the ROM when Mobile shell is installed?

I think that custom ROMS may also give you updates of WM as well.

If there is a better reason to upgrade, it would be nice to know.

If the phone works better, programs are updated, etc etc...OK But if its just upgraded Manila then why bother?

I run both so I can switch between them when I want.(tf3d+MS). I think it has not to do with 6.1 or 6.5, but more what functionality your seeking. Lots of folks swear by 6.5 as being the current ultimate thing. I've tried several cooked and find myself coming back to 6.1 and mobile shell as my preferred ui. One really needs tp try em out for yourself to see what works for you. Verizon really hit a homerun this time around with their stock rom. IMHO MS runs circles around manila for functionality and even eyecandy with all the tweaks available.
