Having the best on your bike is often a matter of it being your trophy rather than needing the performance. I just don't think most of us need a steering dampner.
I do a stack of miles, but they're all on Australia's best roads where I can't go over 120km at best. If I can't keep the thing upright under those conditions solely because of the lack of a dampner, then I shouldn't be riding in the first place. Don't some people with a dampner still come off? It's one thing to have the stuff on your bike, but you have to know how to use it - nothing beats training, bike knowledge and experience.
I took it off when diagnosing a noise from the front end - just too lazy to put it back on when it's not really needed, but I'm sure I will one day.
