I think there are some benefits to the e85 tune as it has generally better cooling properties and less knock (i'm no expert)

I think maybe I didn't notice a difference between the oft stage 1 and two (e85) in comparision to the stage 1 tune from stock.

The only reason i'm considering going back to a 93 tune is that I'm kind of feeling buyers remorse for the OFT. I should have gotten a ecutek tune at HRI over in orlando. I've heard seriously good things about them and was impressed with the 86 owners car who I met. Plus I like to think of it this way, what would you rather have? A generic one size fits all suit or a tailored one to your body. The same applies to my preference on tuning.
We're in Florida- no emissions testing. If you have a OFT, hollow out the cats and go Stage 2 93. That makes a huge difference. If you have the money to blow on a nice header, go for it, it'll net you a couple more HP/torque. But with a OFT already, you can spend a couple hours and for free and you will notice a huge difference.

You can get Ecutek sure, but if you are still stock or just cat-back, what's the point?
