Default Benefits of Comperssion/Sustain pedals?

Just a question for those who use or have used compression/sustain pedals with their acoustics. I value you opinions of the benefits or drawbacks to tone. I'm not one to use a ton of effects. I have a Boss CH-1 that I use very sparingly and I add a touch of reverb on occasion.

I am considering adding a Boss CS-3 compression/sustain pedal. I've been reading up and most reviews and reports are from electric players. I know that some of you fellow acoustic players have them. Is it something to use sparingly like reverb and chorus? Does it make a big enough improvement to use all the time? It is something that is even necessary?

Your opinons and reports are solicited and greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nelson
