My main concern is getting a "bad" flash.
I'm an IT pro since 1978 and I know motherboards can be bricked if a ROM erase/write goes bad. I also know that different file formats can play havoc with some programs too.
That's why I was wondering if anyone has taken an OFT tune and used it with another flash program (other than the little OFT box) to successfully write an ECU on the twins.

as an it pro since 1978 you should know that erase/write has nothing to do with the tune/rom. it depends on how good your cable is, how well connection is made (eg, plugged it all the way in, or bent pins, etc), how well your laptop is running and provides proper voltage without interruption.
as for file formats - all tuning programs can open and then write raw binary format (also called opened). this is basically just a one-to-one byte-by-byte snapshot of ecu rom which then may have been modified (tuning process).
