Stability won't cycle your tank faster. There are a lot of products that break down ammonia, and often people using them and think their tank is cycled. It isn't, and ammonia levels will rise as soon as they stop using them. I don't know if the stuff you are using does that, since I haven't looked at it, but its something that happens. The only thing I have that I add to my tank is a good dechlorinator with water changes, and I would personally consider a product like that pointless.
As far as the dip strips, they are basically useless. I have compared liquid tests and tests strips side by side, and they were totally different. I know the liquid tests must have been right because their readings made more sense.
Tanks sometimes get cloudy when they are new, but they don't have too. The ammonia nitrite and nitrate them selves don't change the look of the tank. The cloudiness comes from either algae or bacteria blooms.
Cycling shouldn't be scary, but I can see why it would be if you have a tank full of fish. Its just a slow process that requires a bit of patients and maybe a little manual labor once in a while.
