Do you currently use TSM Library Manager with ACSLS?

There isn't anything that TSM's built-in library management has that
Gresham offers. Indeed, getting multiple TSM instances resync'd with
Gresham can cause (temporary) inability to use the library during that
resync. Stability isn't usually an issue with either TSM library
management or Gresham. Gresham requires additional administration that
TSM's library management doesn't need.

And TSM's library management doesn't have an outrageous price tag.

(You'll still need to use ACSLS, of course.)
