Any follow focus should assist the AC to do their job, I must admit I DO NOT like the slopiness of the fitting of the focus band around the Bartech (some constructive criticism Mr. Bartell :) )
They all have a market and a Price Point, hell i learnt focus pulling with a steadicam operator that uses an old UHF Seitz and horizontal heden motors.
Anybody who bags other crew for their equipment is probably a little self conscious of their own ability in my book.
