Default Tuner Choice

So I've been in the market for a tuner for a few weeks, and the time has come to decide on one. I've narrowed it down to three tuners, and I wanted to get some opinions.

Delta Force Sniper

SCT TSX

SCT XCAL2

The added cost of the TSX is insane, but seems worth it. The full color touch screen, on the fly data logging, and wireless connection are extremely appealing. But the Sniper Tuning parameters seem as though they can't be beat. Also the Bama Custom tuning, and free custom tunes for life on the SCT's seem like a definite plus.

Help me decide gentlemen.

Wouldn't recommend Sniper software, at this point in time. We'll see how their software on the back end develops in the future.

The SCT XCal2 is discontinued, so it would be the X3 Powerflash.

Really, they both have the same functionality, besides the touch screen and the wireless. The 0-60 and hp/tq estimations are also something that the TSX has over the X3.

At the end of the day, the quality of the tunes are identical, and the datalogging capabilities as well.

I love my SCT SF3/X3 powerflash tuner!! Had it for a couple of years now and no complaints. TSX seems nice and fancy and all but I am ok with my handheld tuner for now. Maybe when I hit the big bucks, lol.
