For those who are in the same predicament as me (as to whether or not indulge in the new TILT 2 ROM), I thought I will do this post.
I have installed the new ROM and all other applications I was using earlier + configured all my email accounts. so after using it for 4 days, here is my take.
- Compared to the original stock ROM this one is really fast. (I did remove the crapware using crud scraper)
- I never enabled the TOuch flo 3D on the original ROM as it used up lot of memory and made the phone to really SLOW DOWN. But I found that I am quite contempt to run Sense UI. It doesn't slow the phone down as much and I still run all the applications as I originally did.
- I did try out Cookie's home tab, but this one really slowed the phone down. I have since uninstalled this and am just using the original HTC Sense.
- The applications do launch faster than it did on the old ROM
- The GPS locks are fast if not better than what is was on the old ROM
- The old ROM showed 5 signal bars. This one only shows 4. The locations where it used to show 5 bars, now toggle between 2 and 4. This one never shows 3 bars. Even though it shows like the signal as only 2 bars, the call quality is the same. No issues with dropped calls or bad internet speed, etc.
Overall, in my experience, if you were using the old Stock ROM, this one is good to get.
It makes the phone zippy even when you have Sense. Same or better network/GPS signals.
Better music playback. 
Hope this helps someone.
