Once your tank is mature and stable you won’t need either one of them. Reefers have been very successful with just dosing pumps or calcium reactor.
Of course nobody needs any of the alk monitoring solutions, but they sure are nice to have. OP even gave an example of how it helped when their kalk ran out - no amount of system maturity or stability would have alerted them of that issue. I still run pH, temp, and salinity probes even though things are stable because I want to know if something changes and requires my attention.

Interested only because - I'm thinking about buying one - but I keep thinking why? because it's interesting? There is no documentation (and surprisingly from the manufacturers) that a 'stable' alk' within a 'certain range' is beneficial.. Seems to me that would be their study to do....... @Thales?
