You should find out pretty fast if they conflict with each other if you try
(though it does increase the total cpu usage obviously), although
personally I think it's reduant.

We're using SMAC as that's actively developed (being a fork of KAC as far I
understand and all?). KAC itself hadn't been updated in awhile and the KAC
forums seems very stagnated but who knows what pops up in the future. I
personally find myself a little suspicious of dblock though due to the lack
of source code available.
