Superfish VS DHTML menus

I need to have drop down menus for my primary links and Superfish is superior for this. But I hate the horizontal flyout of Superfish type menus in the sidebar because you have to be very accurate when moving the cursor sideways to avoid losing the selection chain. It's possible to adjust the mouse sensitivity and timing of these menus. Can this ability be added to the theme UI so we don't have to edit some file? Superfish does degrade nicer than DHTML though, when js is off. I much prefer the DHTML style of menu expansion and selection - there are no mouse issues.

Is it possible to add a feature where one can select DHTML for the sidebar menus and Superfish for drop downs? Does DHTML override Superfish for drop downs? It appears to for sidebar menus when the expand checkbox is not checked.

This may be an issue with other menu control modules.
