5.1.1 - double checking my options



I more or less understand the differences between versions and the install process, but I wanted to double check some things..

I just bought a Fire 7 2015 with 5.1.1 on it. I've used SuperTool to root and all its other functions. I want to install a custom ROM. There's detailed information about 5.0.x and 5.1.2+, but 5.1.1 seems like an odd duck.

- What is the difference between 5.1.1 and 5.1.2? Aside from the system, does it have a different bootloader and recovery?

- 5.1..1 doesn't allow modifying the bootloader or recovery, right? Not even temp booting TWRP? So, is the recovery same as 5.1.2?

- So without TWRP, I have to use FlashFire on 5.1.1?

- To revert back to stock FW, I can sideload 5.1.1, right? I don't have to sideload 5.1.2?

- Any comments on a ROM? I've used CM and AOSP before, but never Slim. There is varying information regarding which ROMS can be used on which Fire versions.


TIA.
