Going +/- 2EV should be more than adequate. My camera goes +/- 3 stops, but I've often gone less than 2, depending on the situation. Remember for every full F-stop change you make, you are doubling or halving the amount of light that the sensor sees; 2 full stops is 4x or 1/4x the light.
If you find you need more, manual mode is always an option. Change the shutter speed; leave the aperture alone.

I only paid about $25 for mine. It's a simple wired version. Considering I've spent nearly $10,000 on camera gear in my lifetime, $25 seems like a pretty good deal for what it does. It's great for holding the shutter open longer than 30 seconds on bulb mode too. If you're ever going to try night photography you can't beat it.
That said, if you spend the $25 and never ever use it, then it's probably not a great purchase. YMMV.
