NLR uses its own parameters and can also utilize CO2 pressure on top of the wastegate to run higher boost levels and help with boost response. There are other things as well but those are big ones.

If your engine management has the capabilities, why run a standalone boost controller. Doesn't make sense to me. Waste of money IMO and a pain that you cant see it on your logs.

I assume the HKS can control boost the way you want for the price that thing cost, but I am unfamiliar with it personally.
