Lastly the standard car has the blind spot warning so I am ok not having the additional side collision avoidance.
I think it comes down to personal preference. To me I like having the second set of eyes to warn me of a danger but I don't necessarily like the system taking over the braking and steering in various scenarios. Per IIHS evaluation the base system without adding the pro package is a superior front collision avoidance system and that is all I personally need.

It's hard to put a price on safety. You may not use it ever or it might be one time that you wish you had it. It's crazy that companies ask to pay premium for something that should be standard.
