I do not have a lift either but I have a great Indy shop that does all the work on my Porsches, and besides, I do not like to get my hands dirty so I never do my own work. They both do the same thing so everyone has to decide if they want to pay more for what may be an easier install for some.

For "some" it's not just easier, but impossible to install the Soul controller. Also one (Soul) taps into the vacuum lines which may or may not be properly sealed when put back to factory. The other one (Cargraphic) is just an OEM plug and play that will always be reversible without issue. Save $200 on a 100K car? Really? Why advertise the Soul controller here when it's clearly not the best solution?

Also the Cargraphic one retains settings between stop/starts. I believe that the Soul controller requires setting each time you start the car.

at the 12:20 min mark, JL puts it how it is

Hmmm, maybe I should look into it after all.
