well you never were able to turn it off if you had it so it was always on. The sport button only adjusted suspension stiffness and in that case I couldn't even tell the difference there. The only real way to know is to drive both with and without AD cars back to back.
That said, I did it a few weeks apart and the difference wasn't earth-shattering from what I recall, but I can tell you in my AD car, I take sharp-turn on/off-ramps without even having to brake - there is a lot of g-force but little to no body roll. The first time I felt that I was floored at how it was possible (coming from a regular SUV from 1995). I didn't really get to do that in my non-AD test drive.
Everything is very stiff as-is - so go test drive both and only you can see if you care.
