Ah ok, so google's got contacts etc covered... And apps I can just redownload once I get set up with CM? Didn't realise that, so if it all goes tits up and I go back to stock (more likely 4.1.2 than the current shitty 4.3 official ROM) I can just do a clean install. Or do a full back up with Kies anyway and restore everything to how it was once I reinstall the ROM with Odin.
Will look into rooting etc, just felt like all the guides I found (inc. the one you linked) gloss over a lot of stuff a noob like me would find reassuring to have confirmed, like what happens after you end up with a blank new CM install.
