I installed the drivers side handle, use it every time I enter or exit the vehicle, and would not be happy without it. But I have somewhat short legs which made getting in using the steering wheel a bit awkward. I don't notice the small view obstruction at all, after a few drives it just disappears from vision. Conversely my Jeep Wrangler LJ does not have a drivers side handle and I move in and out of the rig using the steering wheel with ease. The handle is definitely a personal choice for each owner.
