Also the only parts which really have shown a need to retune are intakes which is understandable.

The car is new, so cheaper options may come in the future. In the Subaru world if you want an ECU reflash the only real options were Ecutek and Cobb, and Cobb has no plans to build anything for this car. I don't know if and when Ecutek will see competition, might not be until open source tuning is a reality.
the initial investment of stand alone is larger yes.
ecutek is 800 upfront
then to FI figure another tune charge of atleast 500 hell you are damn near there.
i guess i am just going to have to bend over and take it on this one..
