Here's what you may not be considering UBRocked. I am anticipated 2.1 to be optimized from the standpoint of a better/faster kernel and a better/faster OS. Bugless and Sholes are better because they've optimized things from the Applications side of things. DE-odex'ing the apk's helped make things run more efficiently. Of course, Taz's 1.3 GHz kernel gave my DROID a pretty nice kick in the shorts. But what if someone down the road can overclock the 2.1 kernel? Whew! Lightning baby!

So, that's what I'm anticipating. I can care less about more homescreens, live wallpapers, 3D this, graphics that, yada yada yada. I want to see what a truly optimized kernel and OS can do.

I'll probably be totally let down and keep running Sholes' ROMs based off of 2.0.1 with Taz's overclocked 2.0 kernel.
