Default Support Braces-worth the cash?

Obviously, a strut tower brace looks good and is somewhat functional. There are several others braces advertised for the S2K. Has anyone found any of the others to be worth the cash? Produce a notable difference in performance? Make normal driving to harsh?

I just drove an S that did not have the braces that I do. What a difference. I forgot how the car felt before.

I have a Neuspeed Shock Tower Brace and X-Brace. The combo works well together. I don't think you get alot out of just the STB.

I am thinking of trying a Cusco bar next, but need to do alot more research (as I tend to do).
