I have Espro and ECM calibrated tampers but I think a good grinder and WDT with EITHER leveler OR good tamp is as good as you need. Get a leveling tamper if you find you don't have good enough tamp skills... or just work on the tamp skills.

Do you need to use a distributor? No. You can get wonderful espresso with nothing but a tamper. However, a distributor can help with consistency and getting wonderful espresso more regularly.
