Richard,
Based on the statement: "If 'not required by code', there are but two choices:"
That's not one of the choices. In the 'choice' you mentioned, it IS a 'code' requirement, thus it does not fit under "If 'not required by code' ... ". There are no choices other than to install it.
By the way, did you catch the way you spelled your name in your post?

Not to worry, I've done the same thing, 'Shoot, Jerry' I tell myself, 'You don't even know how to spell you own name.', I hope I catch them all before I click 'Submit'.
