auto-dim to non-dimming mirroras - Any experience?

Hi all, I'm looking to buy new heated aspherical mirrors and I see the auto-dim feature makes the cost skyrocket, so I was debating buying a set of non-dimming mirrors and just living with that.
Has anyone else done this downgrade and been happy with it? I NEED heated but i am thinking i can live without auto-dim portion...
any input is appreciated.
AND yes I know I can buy used mirrors but I have done so in the past and the right mirror always has a busted heating element (the resistance to this mirror is always much much different from the left mirror which IS working as a heated mirror so I'm a bit shy on buying gused as many sellers will NOT check the resistance values for me and I do not want to hastle with buying, waiting for delivery to check myself and then having to return, at my cost, just to gamble all over again

Ok I will just chance it and buy non-dinming mirrors and see how I like that flavor.
