With a proper tune your ECU should only be needing to make adjustments when conditions change such as gas quality/octane, elevation, temperature, etc. If your tuner is unable to get it right after some time on the dyno, like your previous experience, then you really need to find someone more competent. Leaving the base tune so far off that it requires ECU learning to operate correctly is a sign of someone who really can't get it right themselves.

The OEM learning curves allow the manufacturer to have one tune for every car pushed out the door even though the engines respond slightly differently. If they took the time to spot on tune every single car as your tuner should then learning would be very minimal.
