I run a merlin with the help of a mains booster pump with produces a 010ppm reading(from 375 ppm tap water), then i run this through a DI bottle into my IBC tank.Apart from helping protect the filter membranes in the merlin, what other benefits are there? thanks for any thoughts 8)

I've found the tds out put from my RO better with a softener.  You can pick them up cheaper than 600 but you also have the running costs of them as well.
