How necessary /useful is a tubular k member really?

The car it would be for is NOT a race car, nor a real street/strip car.
It'll be a show car and cruiser with rare trips to a track(maybe 1-2 times a year if that).

I was first considering it merely due to the ease of install, added room, and such. But once installed its not a part that I will be taking full advantage of.

By using the stock k-member with minor mods, I could save $400+.
I've been reading about fitment issues, problems using stock front control arms(which I will be), and possible cracking with street use.
