Root [Boost Mobile] FTL vs Lightning Launcher

Hello,

I am running Warp OEM 2.01 right now that have FTL Launcher Lite inside. This rom runs very stable, fast, error free and have lot of features/customizations, so I installed my favorite launcher.

Lightning Launcher is the smallest one I found (196 KB), works perfect, very fast, but is very hard to decide between builtin FTL Launcher that comes inside the rom, both have excellent speed, functionality, etc, only notable difference is the installer size (618 for FTL, so Lightning is 422 KB smaller).

So, anyone wanting to share experiences about that launchers? ...without any fight, just positive opinions:D

I use lightning and love it... works flawlessly with oem. I have tested all major launchers with oem while beta testing and lightning is my favorite with this rom.
 
Heck, I may even have to try it out lol I tested around a dozen prior to deciding on FTL, but maybe I missed a good one :)
 
Personally I like Zeam Launcher, tried lighting it just didn't seem as snappy, but its a good launcher............;)
 
Some details/differences:

Installer size: FTL=618 KB, Lightning=196 KB
RAM used: FTL uses more than Lightning
Flexibility: Lightning have more
Easy to use: FTL is easier for beginners

I am using Lightning Launcher some months ago and found it very stable and fast, very low ram consumer. I didn't know about FTL Launcher before but found it very stable and fast too. Lightning Launcher last version introduced several improvements.

I thought that was related to Samsung firmware:D.
It have only 132 KB!!! I'm going to try it.

Update: Found: LightLaunch that is 29.44 KB, Clear Home = 88.42 KB.

Update: Honestly, smallest but usable is Lightning Launcher, because I do not feel joy using LightLaunch, Clear Home or Odin Home, not offense for anyone, just my opinion.
