Difference between stock and custom rom. topic

I have had had several "custom rom flash addictions" to various android models.

I have not been flashing on my Xperia Z1 since i have always have had a feeling there is a bigger risk of breaking the phone.

How big of a difference does a custom rom for the Xperia Z1 make?

Does it get alot smoother and faster?
