With the Haltech on BF discount, do y’all still think the KPower wiring harness is still worth it, or do you guys that have been running swaps for awhile wish you had gone in another direction?

If you want to integrate with stock CAN and you're going to be running Haltech (and I think it is worth it for DBW) you're saving something like $1200, but you also get to make your own harness / figure out the pinouts / buy all of your own connectors / etc.
While I have had some qualms with the KPower harness I'd gladly pay the money again if I was starting over. The base map is drivable to a tuner, but I would never consider putting track time on it.
I've clearly been pretty vocal about some of the short comings of the swap, but honestly, it gets a lot right. We've got someone here who has been daily driving a swapped car with relatively few issues for like a year / 14k miles and I've got 7 events on mine without a single issue swap issue (stupid transmission) other than some exhaust bolts rattling loose.
I think it is pretty legit that a Honda FWD motor can be turned 90*, put into a modern Subaru chassis, and work pretty much like stock. It can also probably, with proactive part collection / motor prep, be completed in a weekend if you're sufficiently motivated.
