Trim tabs are used to correct the sideways trim of the boat eg down on the port side use the trim tabs to correct.
Permatrim or whatever brand of engine based trim apparatus are used to assist with fore and aft trim or to assist with the prevention of cavitation or to assist with holeshot etc.
Two totally different situations.
or do you think this boat is better?

I disagree trim tabs are to give stern lift to improve the hole shot, secondary asymmetrical use of tab to correct the lean

They can be used for stern lift but this is not there main purpose.
The main purpose of tabs is to correct lean in a beam sea.
