Both companies must be doing something right to be this successful, right?
Personally, I prefer the Cobb model.
On a side note, Hondata uses the Cobb model, but the number of ECU marriages is limited. After so many "transfers", the unit bricks and can only be locked by Hondata. Not sure if Cobb does this.

Interesting thing that Hondata does.. Cobb doesn't do that.
I personally like the Cobb model as well.. makes customers happy..
EcuTek model right now is older, and honestly they thought about changing it.. but the way the software is setup with the dongle and license doesn't allow this to easily happen with A LOT of new work. Everything they have is integrated with everything.. databases - everything is streamlined a certain way.. They rather work on more pressing things like on-going dev work on cars... and idk maybe a handheld programmer which wouldn't have this issue to begin with.
But as a business owner, I think EcuTek's model allows them to generate more money , which powers their development team.
I've worked with several company's and EcuTek is absolutely the ONLY company that listens to a request and then acts on it.
Two weeks ago I told EcuTek their SD sucked.. btw, not for the first time.. Told them I wanted them to implement the the same stuff we have on the GTR now.. and that I needed it for a upcomign trip that coudn't be delayed. So Monday comes around and what's happening.. GT86 on the dyno testing out the new VE Based SD... Friday rolls around.. guess what's in my inbox.
No matter if your a tuner, mechanic, top chief - we all have tools and we all have preferences. I continue to support platforms EcuTek can support because IMO they have some really awesome tools.
And very much like BRZ, EcuTek will be first to market with Subaru DIT... why? because they've been working on it for over a year now and it's ready TO-GO.
