Umm, I've only had to use my quick selector once, but that is enough.
Also, my FP system cost less than $1k to install and I now have a fuel transfer capability I didn't have before.
Reading this discussion, I think it comes down to how and where you use your boat.
If you never go out in bad weather or seas and you can always call sea tow, then you don't need it.
And to paraphrase Marin, the further you keep crap from you engine, the happier everyone will be.
