A lot will depend on the type of sailing you intend. On my 32 and now on my 37 one of the drawbacks is when sailing in bays or similar when multiple tacks are required. The furled staysail becomes 'sticky' and tacking the jib through the slot is a pain. deploying (unfurling) the staysail eases that problem somewhat. On my 32 I toyed with the idea of making the staysail forestay into a detachable unit to reattach on one side at the lifelines to move it out of the way.
I decided not to do so after I moved the boat to Florida. On my replacement 37 I also have decided to leave it as is.
Anecdotally, in 2005 when we completed the purchase of our 32 in Fort Meyers and sailed her back to Panama City Beach we got clobbered by a storm. The staysail was a huge benefit in that 12 hours. Double reefed main, furled jib and fully deployed staysail kept us moving safely and under control. My sailing mentor with thousands of sea miles was grinning from ear to ear. He now owns that 32.
Personally I really like the cutter rig. While the staysail is not perfect, there are mitigations you can do. Example the detachable stay option, Hayden took an approach on his 35 and removed the boom. I took a different approach on my 32 and repeated it on my 37. On this IPYOA site under pictures for the 37 you can see my approach. My goal was better positional control of the boom and blocks on the traveler. To that end I removed the manual stops and installed turning blocks with lines led to the cockpit. My mentor who bought the 32 liked that and has kept it on that boat. Mac's 2cents.
