Default Is pokeroffice a step too far?

I am looking into getting pokeroffice as I am starting to play IPoker which PAHud does not support. So basically getting pokeroffice to do the same as PAHud and PT does combined.

Looking at the overlay on the pokeroffice site I noticed that the overlay shows your odds of improving and the pot odds the pot is offering you!! Whoa slow down! this is way way more information than PAHud offers and looks to be virtually cheating if it allows you to always make the correct mathematical decision in certain spots. Sure you still have to use the info wisely, in the screenshot example the player is getting pot odds of 7-1 with a 8-1 chance of inproving to 2 pair or better on the flop but it is still a clear fold.

But this information will still allow you to play perfectly when you have a purely drawing hand and the other guy has just bet allin. You can see clearly then whether you have the odds or not.

So is pokeroffice taking its overlay too far or am I missing something obvious. Also on a more personal note is it worthwhile to get the thing (is it any good) regardless if I think it might actually help "too" much? May seem a funny question but I would kind of like to make some decisions myself at the table and not be told by a computer program whether I should call or fold.
