Add an Armrest?

So I'm really wondering if I should add an Armrest to my TC or not, obviously GM felt it necessary to leave it off so what do you guys think? Is it going to be in my way?

So if we leave the E-Brake out of the equation since I don't mind dealing with that aspect its worth doing? My concern was hitting while shifting or changing the relationship of my arm to the shifter ect... Dont wanna screw that up

Mine was a life saver. Only made letting the e-brake down hard. Everything else was comfortable.

I added the armrest to my TC. personally i love it, i dont believe it gets in the way of the ebrake at all unless your drifting around corners or something. I believe i paid $60 for it. Install was pretty simple
