confusion over vizcave and viewpoint

I'm using a head-tracker and power wall setup. I use
Code:
vizcave.setTracker(tracker)
to allow the frustum to be automatically adjusted according to head-tracker coordinates. Alternatively, I could manually do this with
Code:
vizcave.update()
and an appropriate timer, though I'm not clear why this would be useful (the documentation does not explain this well).

But how should I deal with the viewpoint? From reading the documentation on sensors and linking it seemed to me that the appropriate way was to use
Code:
viz.link(tracker,viz.MainView)
but vizcave provides the
Code:
caveview = vizcave.CaveView(tracker)
view matrix, which I alternatively linked to the main view
Code:
viz.link(caveview,viz.MainView)
with no apparent difference. What is the appropriate way of updating the viewpoint? And are these two methods completely equivalent?
