Rack conversion - steering damper?

I'm mulling this over, the question is do I really need a damper?

I know that the Polo (from which my rack came) didn't have one in its ordinary setup, only the G40/GTs did. And I know that the beetle has pretty much always had one. The Classic Centrum kit doesn't have one, but given the opportunity I'm wondering whether I should get one.

Just trying to weigh up the pros and cons and whether I can actually source one as it seems nowhere really stocks them, and I'm pretty sure the beetle one won't fit.

Any input guys?


Pros
+Dampens vibration
+Adds stability at speed
+Prevents tramlining on the road
+Easy to fit if one can be sourced
+Easy to retro fit if I really want one

Cons
-Takes away some "feel" of the steering
-Makes steering heavier at low speed
-Can't find one easily!
