Default HP Tune or LS2 Edit / Florida HP Tuner?

Is there really that big of a difference in the tunes that I would spend around $500 for my 2005 A4 to be re-tuned under HP Tune? I hear all the hype about HP Tune but find it hard to believe if I changed from where I'm tuned now with LS2 I would really notice a difference. I'm welcome for inputs. Also if a dealer can flash out the tune than how could I really have the ECU locked up by the previous tuner?

its still up to your tuner to push the buttons...hptuners just makes it easier & adds custom OS's(where applicable).

Exactly correct - like a spreadsheet prepared with Excel or Lotus 123. The end user doesn't care, but one is a lot easier for the accountant to use! Unless he's used to Lotus 123 of course.

I know guys tuning FI cars are moving to HP Tuners due to its flexibility. And I read here the latest version of LS2 Edit does not lock tunes anymore.

BS, it is pure marketing hype, the tool does not make a good or bad tune, it is the person using it that makes the end results and what method they use to make the tune correct for the car and driver.

LS2edit gets ripped here only since they do not do marketing but in the end what we read here is views from people who do not know how to tune, use the tools or even know what other tools do yet bash them
LS2edit works just fine for my 05 and now my 07 Z06 and LS1edit worked fine with my 01 Z06.
We all have heard people flashing their ECM with low car battery or even a battery charger on and then blame the tuning tool for their screwups.
