For me I would say that the question is where u want to put ur money. If expect to spend most of your time at the dock or doing coastal cruising, buying a passage maker would be putting your money in something useless. You will pay for feature you will never need while you could have saved it or put it in some other features for better confort or whatever you need.
Beyond that I guess that for some it is more a question of prestige to own something capable of more than being capable of. Same principle apply to many thing outside boating.
Personnally I would select my boat for what I really want to do with it not what it could do if...
