When I was choosing the specs for my car I agonized over the power steering question since I had never driven a Cobra with manual steering, so thought I'd add my 2 cents to this particular topic. If you plan to autocross your car, for example, I would say power steering is very important. If you're designing a street-driven only car, you really don't need it. In fact, I think the feel of the road you get with manual steering is a plus. I've driven my car for many hours at a time on winding, twisting back roads and can tell you it isn't the lack of power steering that eventually wears you down. Yes, steering is heavy in a parking lot, but still not terrible and only momentary anyway. Like most other options, you will want to choose based on how the car will be used.
