It's like having a light fixture that is dimmable and has a sunrise function.
Not necessary but it is nice to have that possibility.

With the gradual start up, there isn't a sudden explosiveness of water.
Being able to change the intensity of the return pump means you can use it for a broader range of applications. Almost all of my equipment can still be reused if I ever want to upgrade or downgrade.
It also has a 10min feed feature which I fine useful to target feed corals.

Of course this can also be done if you have an apex but it is hard to beat the price of Jebao products which already come with these features.
