How much straight is straight enough

If it shows up in a wing panel as pure bow with no twist, you might 
have a slight asymmetric dihedral effect, i.e. the roll couple due to 
sideslip being markedly different from left to right.  I had a Summit 
2 in the late  80's that had a slight bow (but no twist) in one wing 
panel that showed this characteristic in flight.

If it shows up in twist, you will almost certainly notice it, same as 
a warped wing.

I'd find a way to fix it.
