I was under the impression that although it required some tweaking, the method was fairly reliable - I have yet to hear any disaster stories from anyone using it (maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention though). Plus isn't the method "self balancing" in so much as when the water level starts to rise, the pressure increases and more water flows through the drain, and vice versa when the level drops too low.

Also, I spoke to the owner of my LFS (who seems to really know his stuff) and he recommended essentially the same method, even though he hadn't heard of reef central, and he had all his tanks plumbed like that.
