I have a PFC and a knocklink, as well as an AFR meter and that suits me fine.
I feel the knocklink gets your attention more since the CEL isn't the brightest.
The PFC commander shows up to 8 parameters, although I chose to monitor 4 (its easier to read) which are knock, water temp, boost and revs. Peak values on the PFC are nice to know.

As previously said, a very wise investment. They are supposed to be set to max sensitivity anyway, don't really know why you would want to set it any lower? 
Had one on my old sti 4. After the decat, I definatley noticed more activity. Mostly greens though.
Even if it doesn't save your engine, it is still nice to know whats going on.
I know Mr Lewis will say that, "you should able to 'feel' whats going on", but not everyone has his 'zillion year' experience with the motor car!
The knocklink is a tool for guidence. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thank you guys who know WTF they're talking about.
And bugger Pete when you've got summant new to say woth listening to.
yeah i thought getting the knocklink set-up and fitted right in the first place then leaving it well alone.
See what you mean as it's no safety device just an visual indicator.
