Not being a true blue zeohead I can only guess here .. but I think zeo does more than just reduce nutrients. For one, there's the food thing (ok, guess that's still equivalent to the pellets, but I bet the particulate size is different, which makes it somewhat distinguishable), water clarity and brighter SPS colours. Just guesses though.
If the goal was just nutrient reduction though - the pellets are cheaper and more effective without manual daily intervention. That said, some regular basis monitoring is still needed (make sure there are no clogs etc) but at least you're not pumping some reactor every day.
I dunno. I'm not sure if the zeo guys are worried yet, but I do agree the pellets on their own seem probably good enough for most folks. Going beyond that and doing both is probably venturing into a more experimental type category perhaps..
