Level my bed, or just trust auto level correction?

According to my octoprint 'bed visualizer' my bed is about 0.5mm high at the front right corner. Since this is within the range that the auto correction can fix, is there any point in leveling the bed further myself? 

It seems very doable to just use the nyloc leveling methond but if I don't get any added benefit then what's the point, right?

To level or not to level that's the question...

Use Mesh Level, set 7x7, but don't use Bed Level Correction or Temp calibration since they are broken and only confuse the mesh level code.  And you must use mesh level or your Z-offset is ignored. So don't bother trying to do a fair level of the bed unless you do it mechanically (ignore any numbers the firmware provides).
