Trevor, Stand alone setups are worth more to some people, like myself, who have 1001 usb devices hanging off their laptop as it is.. I'm on the waiting list for a TV guider, and once I get that, it frees up 2 usb ports, lessening the load on my computer making it all run a bit nicer....
For people using a dslr with a timed shutter release cable, a stand alone guider completely removes the need for a computer at all.. which is something very hand when you're out somewhere that does not have 240v power..
