I want something reasonably priced that I can order a base tune with a few free maps or cheap lightly tweaked maps. Then I can go to a shop later and pay just the tuner not for a licence. A licence is just like dealer added cost for a new car. You're over paying because other options aren't available.
More than 4-500 is simply stupid expensive for a NA tune. Sure if i wanted a custom FI tune on a car not built for it i'm willing to shell out $900.
The only thing that should be considered a one time use is the tune it's self.
My two cents.

This is the shitty part. $900 for minimal gains on a near stock na car. The mail order guys are making a killing on what is essentially one tune fits all. You can pay 300 to 500 for a proper live dyno tune.... or you can pay 300 for something that barely beats a stock tune with advance multiplier set to one and rev limit set to 8000. (Track tested lap times and acceleration data).
Extreme imo. Diablo. Sct. Hypertech provide those tunes for free when you buy there hardware. Oooohhh... I have a cold air kit and exhaust. Better get a 'custom' 900 $ mail order tune lol.
I would encourage people to talk with their cash. Brzedit has the best model at the moment....especially for tuners. I know AEM chose BRZedit and I heard k&n is as well.
It works awesome and for what... $700 you can tune it yourself have a better logger. ...and the support and user base is growing.
Im sure the mail order guys will start supporting you too, there are probably quite a few that will send tunes to you already.
