Default With or without slider?

Hey guys, I am trying to collect some opinions on what to do with the passenger seat. I am installing recaro black leather seats in my 99 coupe and am going to order my brackets from Wedge today. My question is do you think its worth getting sliders for the passenger seat? Being that I am sure I will let a few friends and my dad drive my car I want the drivers seat adjustable for clutch pedal. I cant find a reason to adjust the passenger seat any more aft then the fixed bracket allows. thoughts?
thanks guys!

If it is not much more to get the adjustability on the passenger side, I would go for it. Allowing your passengers to adjust the seat for their comfort will be appreciated.

It more than doubles the cost unfortunately.

Just based on personal experience, I have a Z06 so the passenger side only slides fore and aft. (no power) My shorter passengers (~5' - 0") tend to slide forward a bit to see over the dash easier.
