Observation after some use:
Runs very well...fast and stable.
YouTube app force closes every now and then (when it is in the background.)
And Android Assistant shows the Status Bar as the cause of 45.25% of my battery drain.
Screen shot of my home screen is here showing what is on the Status Bar (which is nothing unusual) and what Android Assistant shows. The battery is draining more rapidly than with HC.

But, I'm willing to live with a few more re-charges. Just wanted to give you the heads up.
Thanks again--I'm liking this very much.
