Is there any benefit to getting a new tablet over a used one? Are there any versions of the software/hardware that have changed? Since it's all open source, I assumed that they're all the same, but I don't want to buy a used one and get stuck with an outdated version or miss out on new maps/updates. Likewise, I don't want to overpay.
Also, I see that stage 1 is generic, and stage 2 is more specific. For a DD car, is stage 2 too aggressive? My only mods are a drop in, inlet tube, and UEL right now. Maybe an axelback/catback in the future.
Thanks for any quick help or guidance!

I picked up a second-hand OFT from a member here in the member classifieds and haven't had any issues. As far as I know, the tablet itself has not had any new versions, but Shiv has released many different versions (revisions) of the tunes, all of which are free to download from their website.
With your mods, definitely run the UEL Stage 2 tune (assuming your UEL header is catless). You will feel an improvement in performance for sure.
Shiv is going to be releasing a new revision of UEL Stage 2 tunes here pretty soon too and the dyno's he posted show some nice gains over the current off-the-shelf UEL Stage 2 tunes.
