It's just my opinion but two things frequently not mentioned:
1) Set & Forget requires the gas regulator to be permanently "on".
A possible consequence of this, is that if there is even a minute gas leak, you can lose the complete contents of your CO2 gas tank which is expensive & very annoying.
Yes, a leak is ALWAYS a possibility, but not a likelihood if you set up your system properly. When I first got into kegging, I had a leaky regulator that was nearly impossible to check. But, since getting that little problem repaired, I have gone 2 years on a 20lb tank that serves 4 taps as well as boost carbing, pushing cleanser, and pushing Star San. I leave the gas on 24/7. I lost $20 worth of CO2, and fixed the problem... Things happen, but I am of the opinion that one shouldn't fear every possibility no matter how remote.
