No one needs Chosera™, but if you have the money and do all of your own sharpening, they're nice. They cut down on stropping time in addition to time on the stone itself, and they're more feel responsive than a lot of other high grit stones. They're not magic, though, I'll give you that.
Advocating for an electric sharpener over free handing because of people messing up their edges is asinine. All of the worst condition knives I see are because of people using electric sharpeners. Not only scratched to hell, but with unnecessary and uneven removal of material leading to wavy blades and bolster nightmare (pic related) way sooner than would occur otherwise.
