You're right. They will only compensate for it.

can we get more description of the "vibration", is it while stopping, sitting at idle, does it change with the lope/ surge of the motor?
^^^ is dead on... My 03 does the exact same thing. does it make a humming sound when it vibrates??? if so then it definetly the vaccuum assist pump.(it feels like you have a cellphone set to vibrate in your shoe, I bet)

Aint nothing you can do about it but you will get used to it.

I put a vacuum canister in thinking that would help but it doesn't it may come on a little less often but it still does especially after a hard, fast stop.

Yeah thats exactly what it is. Nothing I can do? Great. Lol. Not too big a deal, I just don't like the humming sound it makes.
