I've got an innovate LM1. I got it with the exhaust pipe clamp. It works fine.
Same as the MOT station is able to sense the oxygen content of your exhaust gases from the exhaust pipe sampler.
The only complaint I would have on it is that it can be a pig to bolt up to some exhausts depending on back box design. And I added bits to it in case the screw came loose... (which it did).
Never run a parallel test with a boss fitments, but it's happily tuned things to the correct AFR's.
The boss wants to be at the collector too, or you're going to get odd reads with only one or two cylinders. Else you're fitting 4 WB's.
However for the cost of a boss off ebay with a blanking plug, weld a spare in situ if it's a car you intended to frequently mess with.
The narrow band output in helpful yeah, but it's far easier to run it without dicking around with the stock items.
For example in a Honda with a 4 wire O2 you have to either leave it connected and hack it's sample wire, else trick the ECU to disable the heater circuit or it'll flag as a failure and adjust the map dynamically itself. So it's best IMHO to go separate.
