In a more personal test case, without "WP SpamFree" activated, I have to sift through 200-300 "spamments" a day (all legit spams, rarely a false positive). With "WP SpamFree" activated Akismet may actually pick up one or two spamments every 4 to 5 days. Big difference there in my time spent rolling through pages of spam caught by Aksimet in case of an extremely rare false postive. I did tailor Spamfree's message to let users know to contact me in case of an legit comment error. So far, none have.

Bottom line...personal preference.

In my sample of 12,000 spam comments Akismet has missed less than 10. As far as I can tell running another spam filter could only lead to false positives.

Running both WP-SpamFree & Akismet isn't a waste; if anything, it's smart or at least smarter. Spam free blocks a lot of spam, but if it comes from a human, it's pretty ineffective. In that event, Akismet is there to catch

What about the reverse?

What is Akismet missing?
