The consensus at rec.crafts.brewing has been that sugar doesn't really
add cidery tastes, but adding it to the fermenter just increases alcohol
content without adding any beneficial flavor profile. It makes for a
drier beer.

Well then that is what I would go with, they have never steered me
wrong. I was a little surprised at how good a beer made at home could
taste. I'm probably making a stout and porter this weekend; I'm
almost out of beer...
