But there may be many different ways in which one could model the same physical situation, with each employing different fundamental elements and concepts. If two such physical theories or models accurately predict the same events, one cannot be said to be more real than the other; rather, we are free to use whichever model is most convenient.

It seems to me there is something missing or omitted in the sentence "we are free to use whichever model is most convenient".
Should it be "we are free to use whichever model that is most convenient" or "we are free to use whichever model which is most convenient", because the object is
"whichever model", not "whichever model is most convinent".
But if "that" or "which" is omittable, it will be okay.
Yet it doesn't appear omittable to me eccept "which", which is very close to "whichever" and might be omittable here. I am not sure.
Is the sentence okay?
