I'd expect the voltage regulator's main benefit is protecting electrical equipment from (particularly) brown-out type damage. My electricians are forever remarking on how much variance they're finding in the mains supply voltage on the properties we test.
We've also had quite a few requests for low-voltage cutout switches to protect some classes of electrical plant - particularly electric motors.
Would voltage stabilisation not perhaps be targeting voltage spikes?
