I actually see it this way.
The whole visa process is already not a cheap one. We have to allot good amount of money for IELTS, EA assessment, Visa application, NBI, medical, etc. Looking at the whole picture, it should not hurt us anymore to allocate few more hundreds of dollars for RSEA.
It's for our peace of mind, as many rightfully said. The whole process is already mind-torturing and we may become too anxious while waiting for that approval. Having RSEA is simply one less reason for being paranoid.

I’d say it is more on a personal preference, kasi RSEA backs up your claims for the work experience. RSEA = Peace of mind and you know, clear evidence about the points na ni claim mo for experience. If you have no problem funding it - I recommend na you take it.

Meanwhile, RSEA requires the applicant to collate employment evidences early in the process. This eases some pressure to the applicant during lodging of visa application - when we all need the sharpest focus and utmost care.

and by doing RSEA, ma ensure mo na matapos mo na lahat ng leg work sa pagcollect ng work evidence mo at the earlier stage of your journey - unlike kapag wala then sumakto na hinanapan ka during CO contact, I don’t think 28 days will be enough to comply (medyo stressful ito nakikita ko lang)
In my opinion, lahat ng hinirap naten happens before or during our skills assessment phase. Kapag naitawid mo na ito, e free ka na from worry. Ito lang naman ang advantage ng RSEA pero syempre we don’t dismiss the fact na pedeng pede din naman na wala nito.
