For me, I would never need abs on a dry clean road. I am comfortable with my emergency braking and have had to use it with a safe ending. I opted for non abs because I don't like the idea of the combined aspect taking away some specific control that I like to have, plus I don't trust computers. I am a control freak 
However, if I ever found myself on a wet road, slippery or sandy road, I'm afraid an emergency situation would result in me crashing without the abs. I see the CB1100 as an every day bike, and you might end up in less than perfect conditions, and for that the extra money for abs is worth not crashing.
Hope this helps, and good luck on the purchase.
