I paid full price for the tune and have not received any compensation from any manufacturer. As far as I can tell all of the Stage 1 tunes are pretty similar as far as power goes, so I don't think it really makes much difference which one you choose. I wanted to write this up for anyone who's interested in tuning or on the fence so they could get an idea of the procedure and results.
If anyone knows of a similar post for another tuner or wants to write up their own review, I hope they include a link here!
Just wanted to throw out there that it will depend on what ECU you got. For example, my ECU is a newer model (C76) and needs to be bench flashed, if you have a EDC17C56, for example, you can do what InsipidMonkey did.

Again I did the ABC delete and the tune in one.
