[Q] Update before installing custom ROM?

[ArobeeTV]

I'm getting a Note 8.0 in a couple weeks, and I plan to root and install a custom ROM right off the bat. My question is, do I need to update from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 before rooting and installing a 4.2.2 custom ROM, or can I just root on 4.1.2 and go for the 4.2.2 custom ROM straight away? I only ask because in Canada, we don't get the 4.2.2 update and it'll take some extra steps to install Samsung's 4.2.2 firmware manually. I would rather skip that step if it's not actually necessary.

No particular need to update. Just install Cwm, wipe everything and flash your rom (Civz rom suggested).

Fantastic, thank you very much. That's the ROM I was going after too, actually lol. It looks pretty good!
