OK,

The question about using a mod-monitor or not is more of a question of
convenience.  
Let's take the speedometer analogy.  If you have a tach, know what gear
you're in, what ratio your differential is, and know your tire size,
couldn't any *intelligent* person figure out how fast they are going?
(Maybe?? - Yeah Right!!)
A modmonitor at the station is a great tool for glancing at and seeing
if your modulation is correct or not.  When you get that call at 1:00am
about whether things are right or not, you can tell the board operator
to look at the monitor and tell you what they see.  I challenge you to
give a scope to a non technical person and have them give you any
meaningful feedback, no matter what time of day or night it is!

The conclusion; If you want to see your modulation quickly, accurately
and simply, install a modmonitor!
