Anyone ever use a mechanical algae scrubber? Worth it?

I keep seeing ads for things like this

Thinking about trying to incorporate one into my next stand build somehow.

Ive used them on my 375 and loved it,

I am now gonna be using one on my new build here shortly.

there have also been a cpl discussion and build posts on the local facebook groups about ATS, I am still trying to figure out how to fit one under my stand, if it can keep up would rather run that then a media reactor. I don't think I have seen bad results from an ATS unless the initial design or maintenance was poor.
