I currently have the new tune, but I still don't feel 100% confident with the engine and even though the rough idle/smoothness seems to be better it is far from perfect. I just learned to deal with it and for the people who say pony up more money for better. I would have gladly paid Toyota more for a more reliable or powerful engine.
Also my first Subaru but I have never experienced rough idle and it runs as smooth as I would expect from a boxer style engine. Since my only pervious boxer experiences were either really old VWs and a Corvair I did not expect the same as a "standard" type engine.
