Default Deuce Fork Brace?

I am wondering if the fork brace is worth it? I like the look of it but does it really help with handling? I am not complaining about the way my bike handles I am just asking the people who use it if they can feel any difference.
Thanks in advance

A slight improvement. Best improvement came with Progressive Suspension and Metzler tires.

On a low mileage bike it might be hard to tell the difference. But as the miles pile up and the fork tubes 'loosen' they become more and more prone to doing that really ugly wandering feeling in hard turns.
Fork braces help to curb that wandering and make the front end feel more solid.
