I did decide to try Home++, although different than Panda in many ways it has some very nice features. My favorite feature is the ability to continuously scroll through the different home screens. Meaning I don't have to swipe backwards once I reach the last screen, it just loops back through to the beginning screen. Home++ also does not appear to suffer the same annoying lag that Panda seemed to develope after several releases. I also like the scrolling power bar that has all the main things you open, such as phone, contacts, browser, notifications etc.
So if you felt let down by Panda or Open Home and others I highly recommend trying Home++. You can't beat the price...free.
