" It smooths things out, put also seems to exaggerate some movements."

I would argue this is the player and the assist being out of sync. That's what I've found when I've tried to use SA again, we just end up fighting and causing the car to spin. This was very evident running the Venom at Bathurst for the Speed event awhile back. For whatever reason I could carry more speed out of the wall ride with SA low but I had to switch it off or I would spin at the tight left going uphill on my way to start my run. SA and myself disagreed on what the right line was and the venom is...not happy with jerky steering :)

Anyway, I agree, it's a personal preference and likely influenced by hardware.
