Switching Launchers

So I'm running the stock touchwiz on my GS3. Thinking of switching launchers as many say it is beneficial. I currently have my screens setup just how I like them. Even have a few circle widgets configured with different apps in them. My question is how do I keep these widgets and my same look on the new launcher? Or do I have to go through the mundane task of setting everything back up again?
 
You'd have to set it up for each new launcher, but if you end up not liking it and revert to TouchWiz, it will keep your current configuration. Just be advised that any of the TouchWiz widgets you might be using now will not be available in other launchers.
 
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Would be nice to at least be able to save my circle widget configs. Thanks for the replies.
 
Question. Once I set Nova Launcher as the default, how then do I go back to the stock launcher? I cannot find anything in the settings.

Clear default for Nova and the next time you hit home it will ask which launcher you want to use.

You can also use an app like HomeSmack to switch around defaults.
