You should have those features too.

Assist comes with the enhanced bluetooth stuff. That will allow you to do messaging (non-iphone asn Apple does not support that protocol yet) and wirelessly stream music from your i-phone to the car.

AFAIK, the only reason for the cradle (along with assist) is to boost the phone signal by using the shark-fin and to charge the phone.

I decided not to get the cradle for exactly your complaint; My wifes iphone case is a PITA to get off, so the cradle just wasn't going to work. Plus, the cradle uses a lot of the (fairly small) armrest space.
