WHEN kangerade 1.2 comes out

Sort of. ROM Manager creates the pre-boot environment from a GUI within the ROM. That way it can run automagically. Basically, yes, they do the same thing, but one is easier to use. There's diehards on both sides that will tell you why the other one isn't as good as the one they like, but it's really a matter of personal preference. ROM Manager is easier to use, but to really leverage it's features, you have to buy it. I think it's well worth the cost, but I like SPRecovery too.
ROM Manager's drawback is that with more features and power comes more bugs. It's up-side is that the dev is right on top of bugs and keeps adding nice features to it. SPRecovery hasn't changed since I got my phone in February. It's stable and functional.
I'll answer your first question about being safe with that back up: Possibly.
If you did a nandroid backup with SP Recovery (Which I assume you did 'cuz that's what you had when you hit that point of the instructions, just like I did) and you still have SPR installed, then yes, you *should* be good.
If you have installed another recover console, like ClockworkMod from ROM Manager, then no, because the two are not compatible.
I do agree that you should get ROM Manager, it is *well* worth the money because it makes your life so much easier, you don't have to mess around with command-line tweaks or manually using the recovery console unless you need to recover from a failed setup (I did it earlier today, flashed a ULV kernel that put me into a boot loop, pulled the battery, went through Clockwork to one of the other kernels that I downloaded previously that I knew worked, and I was golden!).
It will let you easily change ROMs as you want, which is really why I love it. I bounce around and try all the ROMs until I find one that I really like, but until then, I may end up flashing my phone to different things 2, 3, even 5 times per day, and ROM Manager + Titanium Backup make the transitions smooth as silk

I'm assuming 1.2 will use the officially released Froyo source and not the leaked build, right?
Ok so then sprecovery cant be used with rom manager?
So if I install clockwork will it over ride sprecovery? Or when I install rom manager will it automatically install clock for me?
Going to check out rom manager now. Keep the info coming. Im sure many more folk will find this info helpful.

Yes it will be from aosp, but I might change the name of it. It's not for sure yet but I might be working on the rom w/ about 4 or more other guys.
Through, not threw. We're not throwing anything here.
I like kangerade too.. what do you think of lithiummod?

It needs to be an epic name. The ROMs you guys come up with now are going to be your crown jewels... well, at least until Gingerbread. Lithium sounds cool, but it also reminds me of a ritalin-needing pink rabbit.

You have no problem bashing on somebody else but get pissed when somebody points out something dumb you said?
