Default 2004 Accord...steering issue...too loose?

I have an EX manual 4-door sedan. This car appears way too twitchy to me
at highway speeds (feels too loose). I did complain enough to the dealer
to get them to do an alignment (only toe is adjustable on this
vehicle)...they said it was toed in a bit (but still within specs) and they
straightened it up. This did improve things somewhat...I can brake hard at
80mph and it doesn't squirm around any more...it brakes straight (this was
horrifying!).

Anyone with a 2003/2004 feel the steering is a bit too sensitive? My old
vehicle (junker) tended to require constant oversteering to hold a line so
maybe it's me. The odd thing is, if I take my hands off the wheel, it does
track straight.

It's real bad when it's real windy with gusts...I expect wind to affect the
car a bit, but this seems too much.

I religiously monitor tire pressure (checked once a week)...when I got the
car the tires were all 35...dropped to 32F/30R per manual and it tightened
it up a bit.

The local Acura dealer does good alignments...I'll give them a shot after
the new year I guess...
