Host IPS -vs- Network IPS? Do we need both?

Some IPS vendors do not offer a Host IPS solution Is there really a need for Host IPS if you already have Network IPS covering the same network area? What about if you already have other solutions on the host (ie. file integrity)? The overhead associated with Host IPS is very high (manage agent installs, kernel module conflicts, etc). Just curious if Host IDS is worth it if the same coverage is provided with a Network IDS.
