This car not having an LSD is like going out not wearing any underwear. It probably isn't going to have any sort of affect on anything, and you only notice it when you think about it, but in the back of your mind you know you should be wearing some.

Analogies aside, I think $2k is the most I would even start considering it. There is a lot of other juicy goodies that can be had for that money, goodies that you can really feel. Can it really be considered a safety feature? I'll be moving to Seattle soon. With all the precipitation there I could use 'safety' in order to justify it to myself...
It's really more than that, for our 300hp+ cars it should be at the very least a factory option, if ot a default.

You'll notice its effect at every tight turn, admittedly not often in urban driving though
