Is Simplygon Connect substantially better than Epic's tools in 4.19?

Given Simplygon’s website and developer-facing information, I can’t figure out what the “Free” version (Simplygon Connect) offers over the built-in Epic mesh reduction tools aside from skelmesh reduction. I’m trying to figure out:

– Does the Simplygon mesh reduction/HLOD actor merge tech simply override the built-in Epic tools?
– Are the results that much better than vanilla 4.19?
– Does anyone have any success stories?

I’m pretty cautious about this as I heard about how long it took them to integrate with 4.19; my team doesn’t have time to wait for them to play catch-up. There’s also hardly any discussion on the forums, which makes me quite wary.

Thanks!
