What is the advantage of these units over using a bathroom fan on a dehumidistat?

Noise ... which is my main concern as out den is in the basement

Also autoshutoff function when the set humidity is reached

There are very quiet bathroom fans.

The dehumidistat turns the bathroom fan off once the desired humidity level is reached.

Very true ...
But I did not have a chance to research how much does a quiet bathroom fan with a dehumidstat that can cover an area of 2500+ sq ft will cost. The Humidex fits my purpose (both function and cost-wise), so I go for it.

I dont think you would need a fan that can do the whole house, as long as you can locate the fan near the source of the humidity. In my case I will locate my bathroom fan right in my fishroom, and if the fan can keep the humidity down in the fishroom, I assume the rest of the house will be fine.

If you have multiple tanks is locations throughout the house, it could be different.
