True - there's a spectrum. Generally (5 or 6 experiences) I've found that the benefits of automation tend to come from repeat experiences (systems that get updated frequently) and that the weak spots of each mandate at least a modest investment in the other.
Even with only a little time, a person can see the "Oh sh*t we don't have a test case for that, but it's wrong" and enough stuff breaks over and over again that it's worth putting in at least some automation.
Of course the degree of one versus the other requires judgment and a P&L decision.
