Caulerpa; is it worth the risk?

Alright, so now I'm scared. I've been reading about Caulerpa going sexual for the past few hours, and it seems that grape caulerpa does this most commonly. I have been growing grape caulerpa in my simp for the past 2 years with no problems, as well as caulerpa prolifera in the main tank for the same amount of time. I've never had any problems and I regularly add the grape to the main tank because it's always gone within 24 hours (the bicolor angelfish loves it). So here's the question. I'm upgrading from a 20 gallon sump to a 55 gallon refugium/sump combo. The lighting is going to be stronger and there will be other algae present (Chaeto and gracilaria). Should I just trade the caulerpa in? Will it go sexual? Or, should I just keep it in the sump only, and keep an eye on it? I am going to add a sea urchin and a few tangs to the display, so should I just let them eat it all? Tank is 187 gallons. I should also mention that it has kept my nitrates below 10 ppm all this time.

Here's a quote from a moderator on aquaria central where I posted the same thread:

I've never been a fan of Caulerpa. There are far better options available in terms of a stable population. There are also plenty of others that don't excrete various organic compounds nearly to the extent that Caulerpa species do. Stick with Chaetomorpha or something like Ulva or Gracilaria.
