In most professional drag racing circles, and minor draggin as well, the PS
light is more a courtesy to let the other lane know you're ready.
One lane will PS, wait for the other lane to PS, then the first lane will
FS, followed by the second.
A lot of people hate feeling "rushed" when the other competitor FS's right
away in drag racing and you're not there yet.

Subject: Pro Solo Pre Stage lights
I really have no opinion on the pre-stage lights. In effect, there are not
needed. What would be some of the reasons (other than the obligatory
"Change is Bad") that people would NEED them?
With the Pre Stage lights you:
Drive up and light the PS light
You then creep forward until you light the Stage light.
With no Pre Stage light you:
Drive up until you light the stage light
You then creep back until you 'unlight' the Stage light
And then you creep up to light it again
***The kicker is that at least 50% of the people I watch stage (with PS
light working), back up after they light the Stage lights anyway so they
don't feel they are 'deep staged'.
I see no difference either way.
