....However, to me it is $$ well spent to not have to mess with adjusting it every other day....

The two biggest mistakes people tend to make in PH management is over testing (takes time for the changes to take effect) and forgetting that good PH is a range, not a specific value. If mine is between 7.2 to 7.8 I leave it alone.
I've never seen an "expert" recommend the pH hold products. I've only seen the opposite. It does something with the chemistry, maybe runs the TA way high, to lock up pH. Have to watch your calcium levels. For my money, pH is easy enough to take care of on its own.
