So unless you have a good tuner or you are willing to do it by yourself why using it instead of ecutek for example?

I don't wanna start any war, I'm just trying to get a better grasp of the pros and cons.

Ecutek is: 650$ entry package
BRZEDIT: around 480-500$
BRZedit can load any of the open source maps out there. Shiv has put out numerous Stage 1 and Stage 2 maps that are free. Those can be flashed with BRZedit. Also the logger software in BRZedit is lightyears ahead of EcuTek. That alone justifies the cost of getting BRZedit.

A more reasonable example on price would be:
Ecutek : $850 hardware and tune (can only be used to flash and limited logging)
BRZedit : $420 hardware and tune (logger is amazing and the hardware can be used for many other things)

Let alone that if you want the good features of Ecutek you have to pay $399 extra for the Racerom.

To put it simply, I bought my Tactrix, Shivs OFT tablet, and my BRZedit software for less than a Ecutek package....
