Ok so ive tried a bunch of roms but what so special about sense roms from the stock sense besides the fact they remove sprint bloatware and add a theme? ive tried fresh and myns etc. they just are basically stock sense with a theme and a different launcher and some added apps i dont notice any special feature and people are saying how great they are but im missing something cause they arnt much different.
 
The new roms should be better on battery life, will be much faster than stock, a custom kernel can be flashed so you can overclock/underclock, some of them have custom transition animations, most of the crapware the sprint loads on the stock rom is removed, they are smoother than stock, etc...

If you can't notice any difference then maybe you should just stick with stock.

And 4g only works for Sense roms for now. I heard that Cyanogen Team was working on getting 4g for ASOP.

That is the big issue. I actually like the sense widgets so I dont mind that they still have sense (I wish HTC just stuck to the widgets) but I like that Myns gives you a bit more control and cleans up sense to a more modern, industrial look. He also adds a few options and deletes most of the crap for you.

I would try a vanilla ROM but I spend most of my time in 4g markets and couldnt live without it because I use it for tethering a lot.
