the experience is much better imho. now there are widgets in LPplus that are essentially the same as what's on Sense. only thing it's missing is a bookmarks widget.
what is it that you like so much about the Sense UI since LP has exactly the same stuff plus more? lol
LP+ has a Bookmarks widget. It also has a People Widget, Calendar, Messaging, Twitter and Facebook widgets. And they are all very similar to Sense.
I bought LP+ for like 3 bucks or something like that, not sure if it has gone up, but its well worth it.
For me, a big difference is when i turn my phone off. Sense would take Forever to boot up. Id seriously sit for 3 minutes waiting to get anything up and going. With LP im up and going in like 20 seconds.
And if you like the Sense clock with weather you can get "Beautiful Widgets". I bought it and its the exact same as Sense clock with weather. The plus to it is you can customize it with different fonts and animation styles that are available.

Thats how mine is setup and i like it this way. I have fiddled with settings and have gotten my fair share of FC's and lag but i have found a happy medium for what i want in style and function.
