QuesTec - Are you for it or not?

That depends on your definion of <i>better</i>: more offense, or better pitching, because the two will not always co-exist.
Actually my definition of better in this case was about making it more accurate. Don't you want to see actual strikes called strikes and actual balls called balls? I know I do and it's not always the case based on the ump's perspective.

The strike zone is the one boundary in sports that changes with every different player, and it's up to the pitcher to work within the strike zone as defined by the individual he's facing to the best of his ability, and it's up to the umpire to use his discretion to interpret whether the pitcher is working within these defined boundaries. To leave this interpretation to an unthinking, unbreathing machine is to strip baseball of one of its most essential and endearing qualities - it's no longer man against man with a third party as impartial judge. It's now man against man, but under the strict unchanging unthinking guidelines as programmed into a machine.
I may be reading this wrong, but I think you may have missed what QuesTec can actually do. It doesn't see a set strike zone, it changes the strike zone based on each batter that's at the plate. At least that's how I read it. This way the strike zone is always correct.
