I suppose that depends on what the convenieince is worth to you. I enjoy just adding salt to water, so for me, at maybe 2 boxes a year, it's worth it. People have been using IO for many years, but that doesn't mean that it's the best available now. I'm sure it's good enough for most applications, but this time around I want my tank to exceed my last tank, and I'll look into new technologies and techniques to get there.
As with everything in this hobby, there is the high end stuff and the budget stuff, sometimes of equal quality, sometimes not.
For example, I wouldn't spend a couple of grand on a BK skimmer, my ER does just a fine job, used @ 300 bucks. But some people swear by them. This salt is going to be the same case. Lots of alternatives, but some people will just believe it's better. Maybe it is, maybe not. Time will tell.
K, done typing now
