A good unit can be an asset, especially a bypass that helps you hear the differences it makes.
That unit does not have independent L and R adjustments.
It seems like a good choice IF your space is perfectly symmetrical.
You may know, but I am a big fan of Level Controls built into speakers, i.e. ’presence’ for the mid-range; ’brilliance’ for the tweeters. Remote controlled equalizer would be much easier, but I would want independent L/R and a global balance for errant recordings.
Many Vintage speakers had level controls, because the speaker might be used in a too dead or too live space. One speaker might be near a side wall and the other in free space or further away from the other side wall (like my office system). It’s tricky, but separate adjustments can be made to L and to R.
Vintage Receivers had tone controls, many of them dual concentric, adjust both sides together, or each side individually.
Some units hade several tone controls, and then you have the exterior equalizer, various number of bands, perhaps L and R separately.

You may move to a space that is dead/hard/unsymmetrical: I might first try a unit like this
and once the benefits are discovered, then move up to a ’supposedly’ better unit. Buy from a source allowing returns, you never know if ’supposedly’ better is actually better.
Of course a Sound Pressure Meter, set on a tripod at seated ear level, combined with test tracks would help find a measured balance, then you have your preferences, or specific hearing characteristics (not-always symmetrical)
make sure it has a bottom tripod screw
this test track CD, tracks 9-38, is terrific
this is the lowest price I have ever seen
