Banks Trans Command question

I have a motorhome with an E40D trans, and I am considering the banks kit. They want to sell you a transmission module with the turbo. No other company tries to sell you this thing but banks. Do I really need this thing? I mean, the transmission came with the motorhome. Is it not rated to pull the vehicle down the road? I know, the turbo will make more power and torque than stock, but is this not the same transmission that they put in other heavy duty applications with turbo diesels? How important is this Trans Command transmission module? Can I save a buck here, or do I need this thing?
