Why do coil spacer lift when coilovers are same $?

Was looking into 3" revtek spacer mod when i noticed it was $500+. i can get the basic fabtech coilover for less than $400 and the performance kit for a little more than 600. why would one go with the spacer lift over a coilover setup?

Thats just for the front.

YOu can then get OME rear coils for about 120, and then rear shocks for 120.

That comes out to about 840? plus tax...

Then you need to get new tires... EEK.

0 to 3½-inch Suspension Lift Performance System with Rear Add-A-Leaf - less than $700///, id still need to buy rear shocks. ///or 0 to 3½-inch Suspension Lift Basic System with Rear Add-A-Leaf for $400////, again, id still need to buy rear shocks. bilstein 5100 shock at about $60 per shock.
what size 5100 should i go with?

I just bought a Revtek 3 inch lift for $311 from PP. Since I don't do a lot off road, seemed like a good compromise. Plus, I'm hearing OME sag after a while.
