there is couple of players in the self leveling tab market. bennett marine is fairly new at it. Basically they are for small boats and entry level apps . If I am reading your post correctly per the tab is this what your talking about ?

What size and weight is your boat and what HP ??

Anything semi performance and up I would pass on them.

I visit a stringray FB and they are popular on the under powered 3.0L engines/boat and get rave reviews. Personally would want electric or hydraulic/electric for any above 21ft.

But maybe I'm missing something?

there’s no computer involved
