You can use "Redirects" in Web>Module for it. I use it quite a lot on my own sites, works well.

But path cache is better because you may have both old a new paths for page and even several levels of it. For example, old paths was:

/path/subpath1/subpath2/subpath3

Next you moved page to:

/path/subpath1/subpath3

So you set expiration time on the old path to a month. RealURL will redirect-permanent during the whole month from old path to new path.

Next you move page to another path, so you can set expiration time on second path. And if anyone comes to a first path, realurl will redirect to a new path again! Do you see the advantage of path cache? :)
