Hand-operated turrets are very situational. I used them only when I was on autopilot and I had a bunch of hostiles after me. Automatic turrets are effectively an extra primary weapon because you don't have to think about having to switch to it at all, unless you absolutely need to deactivate it, which doesn't take two button presses.

Also, it doesn't matter how expensive the blueprint is. It can help you rake in money faster, because you'll blow up ships faster, because you don't have to keep doing 180s to chase them down.
