Is adding the features later same as when installing SQL serverAnd it's not more xomplicated
I think that Jeff's point of view is that it's safer to reconfigure a (working) production server's services than to install additional software on it.
Correct. Easier, as well. Just right click on the service and enable it. No need to go through a feature install. Doesn't take many resources at all when disabled.
