You do need to be careful with it. While it will give you the correct size for a new volume, it does not model expansion correctly. So it can give incorrect results sometimes when you are expanding to the configuration you enter.
But if you follow the basic rule to always replace a disk with one of the same size, or replace it it with one that is at least as large as the biggest disk in the array, then it works ok.
IMO it's quicker just to do the math of "sum the disks and subtract the largest".
