Also we have discussed many times here that saving just one tire by catching a repairable leak vs. the tire blowing out will pay for the system.

had i NOT had the TST system i wouldn't have KNOWN about a slow leak (cracked valve stem at the thread/wheel mount)....I was able to determine i was loosing air, and that the leak wasn't bad enough that i couldn't drive it to a tire store to have the valve stem replaced (free).

I also carry a plug kit....for emergency use...and i plug (our automobile tires as needed)....at least w/ the TST (or any other TPMS) system you'd be able to monitor the PLUGED tire to determine if it was leaking after the repair.
