Thank you Louie. Yes, a larger model would be much more powerful, but even a modest pointing model seems to potentially be a useful tool for people like myself who need to set up for each session, as it eliminates/reduces some of the effects of imperfect PA for example.

Agreed Brett. I got it with the mount so had 30% discount, and I thought I may as well go all the way and get a complete package (mount, pier, software). Will be eating baked beans for the next few years before I financially recover
But more seriously, APCC has some useful tools, such as horizon and meridian limits, slewing to counterweight up positions for seamless imaging past the meridian, editable parking positions and more, and of course pointing and tracking models.
Could I live without APCC? Sure, but it adds several quite useful (but not essential) features and thus increases functionality of the mount.
