It all depends on your long term goals. While both of these kits put down similar power, the Roush is very limited on top end potential, whereby the FRPP could easily be intercooled down the road. And since you are going to be spending ~$5K for either kit ( a little more for the FRPP), why not spend another $500 and get something with a lot more potential.
I may never push mine much past its current power level, but it is running super safe with 422RWHP and I only spent about $700 more than that Roush.

If you were to start with the FRPP setup and then later go further, I agree with you.
For me, the Roush is the way to go. Intercooled, plug and play, 5 PSI (Read:safe) level of boost and priced pretty decent.

Any system that uses an intercooler is going to require a little under body mods. The FRPP does not have an intercooler unless you buy the HP unit.

the mustang will always have wheelspin problems till they put some decently wide tires out back with a decent suspension even the supersnake all that money and its mostly wasting its power because it just spins wildly not that any supersnake owners have taken them out of trailers

I am planning on the 435hp Roushcharger early next year. I think it will be plenty. I am pretty sure the issue with not breaking into the 12's is all about traction, not power.
I have the really sticky BFG KDW's and with the new LCA's the car bites really hard. I think the biggest issue is guys lower the cars or even the 427R and if you do not use an LCA relocation kit, the LCA will tend to push up or lift the rear a bit, thereby creating less traction. Of course with the right tires it may not matter too much, but it is all a system. If you lose a little through the tire grip and lose a little through the LCA's you will not break into the 12's.
Just my thoughts anyway.

Roush and Cooper tire worked together for a specific new tire on the 427R. I'm pretty sure it rates as good as the big boys if not better. This was on the SpeedTV episode of the Roush Mustang that aired several times
