Advantages of provided steering column?

[Frank Clark]

Just getting started on my car (It's in the garage, I'm pretty much organized now and weather is turning nasty).

What are the advantages of the provided steering column over a collapsible race column?

Obviously blinkers and I assume the key switch.

With a removable wheel, I can't say I care about tilt/tele. I can place the wheel where I want during assembly. And, I see some folks are not happy about the space taken by hardware that supports those functions anyway.

I assume there is no issue using a dash key switch and another blinker switch with ISIS. I can handle fab of a suitable blinker switch to work with a race column.

Are there other advantages I should consider before making a decision?

Its really to provide an OEM feel and offer adjustment for the potential of having multiple drivers.
The OEM light and turn signal switches and the ISIS makes it a much simpler installation for many of the builders that don't like the wiring process.
