Question [Q] Optimus S question

I just switched to sprint from at&t and wanted to know what the pro/cons were to rooting and installing a custom rom vs using it stock.

att disables alot of what makes an android phone android. does sprint do the same?
will I be missing out on alot if I dont root and replace the rom?

input greatly appreciated.

No sprint does not necessarily cripple the android experience, I switched from my HTC Hero on Sprint to the LG Optimus S because it offered a more stock android experience and I did not have to root to get 2.2. The only downside so far has been the Sprint ID stuff, but just install the clean ID and you should be good.
