Professionally tuned verses a canned tune, or no tune at all?

I had my truck tuned, but but not my car. My truck felt alot better! Its like a baby while sleeping and then waking up crying lol it really wakes up your vehicle and even though its a four door heavy truck I got better MPG. No BS. My truck is a 5.3 I took it to get tuned with just a cold air intake, and thats it and truck made 279RWHP. It didnt seem much but when I drove it back home I did a few runs and it runs aloot better few mods were done to it ever since, but none that require a re-tune.

When I had my car tuned this first time (after the cam install), it was a completely different car.No more surging, gas milage went way up, cold start was alot better, my fans were tuned for 180*, my SES codes for rear O2s, the air pump and all that crap were deleted.

It was such a change Im going to have the TBSS tuned soon, and it only has a few things done to it.
