To active-steer or not?

[Steve Germany]

I've talked to a few folks that have driven the active steer option and have had mixed reviews. Some say that it is not needed and messes up the driving feel. Others say that the convience of being able to have steering lock in two turns makes low speed steering a joy enough to make the option worth while and the high speed stability is really noticable making long trips much leass stressful.

Can anyone provide a long term evaluation? Is it worth the $1250? All these options are adding up!
