Default When is a progressive alky controller needed?

I will be installing an ecs sc600 kit and an AIS stage 1 alky system this weekend. The AIS progressive controller costs the same purchased with the alky kit or alone so I didn't get it yet. Will the controller make much of a difference? At what point would it be needed?

I much prefer on or off... Let the ECM do all of the fueling needs with the fuel system. When you have the computers that we have, they do a MUCH better job controlling AFR... Leave it to your tuner and your ECM...

Thank you for the input. I was starting to wonder if I made the right decision.

I forgot to mention I also got the IAT relocation harness from AIS.
