Default Soler Throttle Body - Which buying option?

I've decide to pull the trigger on a Soler throttle body, to see if I can improve the initial throttle response on my 2017 M7 Z06.
Just curious as to which buying options people chose and why? There are three options, New, a Core Exchange and ship them your unit for modification.

I shipped Mike my original throttle body as it was new and psychologically satisfying to have all the original OEM parts even if modified. I readily admit the second part is silly.

I store my car in the winter so there was no downtime. Mike is quick in any event.

I did the core exchange. The new one I received is a beautiful piece. The core exchange refund showed up in my account very quickly. Great customer service.

Plenty of threads on this subject. Life is short, don’t waste your time reading them. Get Mike’s Soler TB and TC, best bag for the buck.

Bought new and kept the Stock. I prefer to keep my Stock Parts .
Regardless of your choice, you will end up with a beautiful and functional unit that works as advertised.

I also bought new and kept my stock part. If I need warranty service performed that involves the engine I can switch back to stock.

Only problem with switching back and forth is it takes a few ignition cycles and miles for the car to re-learn and run right again.
