You're within a 30 min drive from both GIAC and APR, which chip do you choose, and why?

Default You're within a 30 min drive from both GIAC and APR, which chip do you choose, and why?

One thing a lot of people point out when chip shopping is that its best to go with something close to you, in case there is a problem, you don't have to worry about sending your ecu out. Well..I happen to be very close to both GIAC and APR dealers. Thats my dilemma. Are these chips essentially the same? Is there any reason to go with one over the other? Or should I just flip a coin (I do realize that I have a b6, and the chip would be different then that of the b5's, but you guys have had chips longer obviously). Giacs little wireless remote program switcher thingy does look mighty appealing though. But on the other hand, I just ordered an APR exhaust, and it might be nice to do all APR parts..
