So far as the use of a refractometer on fermented / fermenting beer is concerned, I've found those conversion tables pretty accurate. I use the one from the Morebeer website. That said, I really only use it to gauge when to start a D-rest on a lager. Once I'm sure I've hit FG, I want to have a taste anyway, so I bust out the hydrometer.
So basically, it's good to have both handy. But if I broke my hydrometer tomorrow, I wouldn't get too upset, whereas, if my refractometer was somehow out of commission, I wouldn't brew without a replacement.
