every tuner will be biased to a particular system,as they would have spent hours using the same software,for example i was compiling a spreadsheet on excel the other week and got pissed of with it as i could'nt do what i wanted to do,the mrs walks in and says "nah just press f4" well bugger me it worked as she uses it at work everyday.
i think i need to physically look at this software to make my own mind up.
cost is a factor and the omex 600 is the most expensive.
the emerald and the M-Tech V4 are similarly priced and similar things said about both. the outlook of emerald seem more tech minded than the M-Tech people, as the M-Tech website is quick and bullet pointed with a lit of features which is informative and easy to check out, but i get a clearer picture with the emerald spec setup.
