Ride steady with auto launch worth the extra cost over perfect pass

Debating on perfect pass or Ridesteady. 2021 AR250. The only real differentiating feature from what I can see is the auto launch feature (couple of marginal things as well). Basically looking at $1295 for perfect pass or $1860 for ridesteady shipped. Has anyone used the auto launch, does it work well. Hard to want to pay a extra $500+ but my guess is it'll make my wife's life a bit easier if I just have to tell her full press the throttles and don't crash into another boat.
 
Thanks! I did check out that chain but didn't really see many reviews of actually using the auto launch. Also any other "big" difference to justify the extra spend

Did you check the other threads ? Maybe post in one of those threads and you’ll get a response to your question
