Well since you have it and like just continue to use it.
No one has replaced it so far, but one homeowner uses it in conjunction with their softener.
First question does yours have any type of pre or post filter?
I'll assume it does not.
My unit placed as a pre-filter removing the chlorine will allow your salts to last longer.
Of course you will not have chlorine in your cooking, bathing or drinking water as well.
Additionally the other two stages will remove sediments and heavy metals, if you saw what these filters trap upon removal you would be very shocked.
So it answer to question what can it do better - it can filter harmful contaminates out of the water.
A softener does not.
Hope that answerers your ?
