1. The logger on BRZedit is by far the most advanced with all channels defined (US and International) and includes very advanced analysis tools and very intuitive user interface. It also includes useful features like the dyno calculator. In particular I found it very useful to be able to monitor IAM live.

Mostly agree with #1

That is because he is doing a partial write only

Sorry but this is just plan wrong. Most of the defs are missing lots of tables. He has not bothered to update definitions since any of the open source movement gained momentum. Many of the defs he has have incorrect descriptions as well

5. Patched features such as Launch control rev limit, Flat foot shifting is defined for all roms (US and International)

Agree, but not on the table order. We should have the option of re grouping tables into our own org system

For basic stuff you are correct, but I have a number of issues that were never addressed despite my frequent emails to both the support address and epifans address. I have been told the same by many others.

I like the logger. I don't like being locked out of table definition editing. I also don't like that my logging issue was never addressed after countless emails. For me the logging is great for 2 drive cycles after a flash, then the sample rate drops by a factor of 3 or 4 (goes from 67ms to 250ms sample rate). This means if i want to log, i have to flash every day.... guess how many times i have flashed my car at this point???? At least an average of once per day since i purchased the software on launch day.
His less expensive software, that is the same software just not licensed for the twins, ecuedit is in fact better than what we get with brzedit. You have to buy the pro version of brz edit to get the romraider definition import tool, the definition editor, the hex editor that makes finding me tables easy etc etc.
I even told Epifan i would buy ecuedit on top of brzedit if he would open up map editing (not reflashing) for the twins roms in ecuedit.
He makes good products, but brzedit was never completed in my opinion. It's about 80% there and he just stopped or moved on to something else. Shame, because it has soo much potential.
At least the logger will open any csv format log file so i can still use the log analysis features which i love.
