I'm not sure how they compare between each other (Gabi and Hario), but I don't really see much difference from manually pooring. Basically going the immersion route makes your water touch the coffee longer. That might extract more fats and make it less healthy, and in my opinion not a better taste (I don't like other immersion products either). Taste is personal of course.
It might give you a slight improvement in comfort, but at what cost.
Main difference is ease of use, you don't need to use a gooseneck to circle around, another time, wait a bit, make a pentagram, invoke some eldritch coffee god, pour the rest. You just fill the top resorvoir and wait for it to drip through. Refill until you've hit your water volume.
It's not immersion route, afaict, not more so than a regular pour-over. Unless I'm misunderstanding you (or the processes).
Roughly 30-40 euros, I believe. ;)
