I think this is over-priced because it's artificially limited. If it worked on both BMWs and FR-Ss and they kept adding more cars to support, even if I had to pay another $100 per model supported, I'd buy one in a second. Instead, it's the lock-in system. Not as crippled as ECUTek or Cobb, but still crippled.

For what it's worth, after buying one, I'd drive over to Shiv and have him tune the car. Heck, I emailed them 6 months ago, asking about their tuning.

Frankly, if they dropped these artificial limitations and sold it for 600 with support for both cars and no lock-down, they'd crush the living shit out of EcuTEK and BRZEdit, making more money in the end and building a happier community.
how many people own both a compatible bmw and an 86? seems like an edge case. personally i think it's a fantastic value. especially considering all of the added cool stuff and the physical device itself, on top of the flashing capabilities.

in any case, it's the only way out there to actually own the work you paid for and not be married to the next visconti. it could cost twice as much and it'd still be the best option out there, if it does what they claim.
