Yea, I am in the same boat. It is getting to the point on OG Evo is just getting tired. I have been looking hard at the Note 2 as its replacement.
I am glad to hear that the N2 is an easy root, I have to say I have messed with the S2 and S3 and I have not been impressed with the UI at all. I have always like Sense (Hero and Evo )
I'll have to look into some of the alternate roms.
