I don't own either so I have no skin in the game I'm just curious why spending $250 and getting a plug n play tune from you would be better than spending the money for a Flash tool and using free tunes that people are dedicated to.

Hey, I don’t think you are being a **** at all. Good questions, and I’m glad you asked.
First, up until now, all of our tunes have been custom tunes. A fair percentage of our customers and potential customers have expressed great interest in a tune that did not require the effort a custom e-tune requires. That includes all of the driving, data logging, flashing, etc. These customers wanted an easier solution that still provided a good power/torque increase, took advantage of any modifications done to the car, along with the features EcuTek and RaceRom offer. We still offer custom e-tuning as well.
I believe our tunes are competitive as well as filling a need as expressed by many we talk with. We have hundreds of hours invested in R&D perfecting these tunes, adding new features, solving unique issues, and ensuring the tunes run the FA20 engine correctly and optimally. I can’t say what “others” have are have not invested into their tunes. Our tunes are also professionally maintained, will be updated as new features are developed, and continually refined as needed.
With EcuTek RaceRom, our tunes offer features other solutions do not. Things like map switching where you can run unique combinations of features on up to 4 maps, including running different fuels and octane levels, even E85 and race fuel, without the need to reflash a tune – no laptop, tablet, etc. needed, just a quick flick of the cruise control stalk. We also offer a custom traction control feature that can be tuned on/off with the car’s TC and VSC controls. This is like having four tunes in one.
While our =FAST-FLASH= tunes are more of a plug-n-play tune, they do deliver 90-95% of the performance of our custom e-tunes, and they still offer quite a bit of customization in how the customer can configure the tune as he/she likes with up to 4 maps configured with any of the available features (launch control, flat-foot shifting, auto-blip, custom traction control, fuel). And we still offer 1 data log review/tune revision to ensure the tune is performing the way it should.
Overall, our EcuTek tunes have a lot to offer with many features, abilities, and conveniences not found in other solutions. Our =FAST-FLASH= tunes may not be for everyone, but they offer a very solid performing tune full of features, customizations, and convenience. For those wanting to get every HP possible from their setup, we still offer custom e-tuning and local dyno tuning.
