Stasis vs APR

So it seems the only advantage is the warranty and it seems Stasis knows this. I just checked their website for tunes on older cars (now out of warranty) and it seems the prices are MUCH lower and closer to that of APR.

I guess it really comes down to: Do I want a warranty? Or Am I willing to wait until my warranty is over before Chipping?

I just inquired about buying another ECU since that's what I had done on a previous Audi. APR informed me that I'd need the dealer to program the ECU to the car BEFORE sending it to them for programming.

Basically defeats the purpose of swapping out ECUs.

BTW, not all Audi dealers accept the Statis tune. In my dealer, one senior service technician was pushing for the dealer to carry Statis, and he got rebuffed by the owners of the dealer. And now, he's not working there anymore.
