Default V Strom Centerstand concerns

For those of you with a centerstand...in real world riding how likely are you to scrape the centerstand? I'm thinking of the suzuki stand as it apparently is more stable, though at the same time reviews show it scrapes on the left turns. Been reading alot of mixed reviews on both the suzuki and sw-motech. Last thing i want is to enter a hard turn and end up sliding out due to grinding hard, non-foldable parts... Any advice/experience to share?
