The whole point in me getting this Galaxy S2 was so I wouldnt have to constantly frequent XDA. 
If you a X10/or an ex X10 user you'll know what I'm talking about.Ive never messed with a phone as much as I have with the X10.Was a great learning experience.
So far the phone out the box for me doesnt require any modding or changing.Its perfect as is.For me at least.
Knowing me though I'll be singing a different tune in 3 months time and trying to squeeze every ounce out of it.
Will let you know when I need some help with anything (root,ROM changing ect) Thanks

Its not that scary.Do it once and you away.The learning curve for me is the brand change from SE to Samsung.Things just work different.

In the XDA Samsung Galaxy S2 Development thread,which developers rom should I be looking out for.
There are always the 'big boys' that cook up the best roms.
I need to filter because there is just so much going on in that thread it makes my head spin.
I know exactly how now to change roms after some reading.
The software ODIN works exactly like FLASHTOOL for Xperia phones.
Easy peasy

hobbs...i'd recommend flashing the 2.3.5. build. of all the roms i've flashed from other developers, this leaked samsung rom is far and away the smoothest and quickest i've ever used. it has support for full dual-core use and it really shows. no lag no nothing...good battery life |

Just watched some YouTube videos on rooting and installing custom roms and it all looks pretty simple.Pretty much exactly what I was doing on the X10.Just going to wait for my 7 day return 'if anything goes wrong with the phone' policy falls away and then I'm gonna get stuck in.
