Info from other newsgroups and forums suggests it does not alter the ride
comfort, just improves the cornering. Can't make it any worse!!!!!

Not a lot. That's the point of ARBs. You go over a bump, and both
suspensions move up. ARBs are meant to stop one side going down whilst the
other goes up (ie, roll) and that's what they do.

Well yes. So bumps on one side get transferred through to the body as a
rocking motion which is why manufacturers don't simply fit the biggest, most
rigid ARB they can. It is, as always, a trade off between handling and ride.
