Which HPt to get?
Which HPt to get? Anyone know what the difference is between the $500 and the $650 version of HPt? What are you guys using, and what would the benefit of the $650 version be??
EDIT: NVM...it seems as if the $500 is just a scanner and not a tuner. The $650 "VCM Suite" is the tuner?

Standard vs. Professional Interface
What does the MPVI Pro interface allow me to do over the Standard Version?
With our Pro interface, you can integrate 0-5v signals from various sensors such as EGT, Wide Band, fuel pressure and others right into our scanner. You will have real time data from those sensors right next to your standard scan tool data such as TPS, RPM, MPH, etc.
Our MPVI Pro interface also has black box data datalogging of up to 1hr 30mins built in. What this means is you are able to scan your vehicle without the use of a laptop using the interfaces record button. You can then take the interface into your home to transfer the log contents from the interface to the computer. If you have an MPVI Pro it will require no hardware modification. Also note that VCM Scanner comes with both interfaces regardless as it is part of our VCM Suite package.
Can I buy a wide band sensor and simply plug it in?
No. You need a wide band kit that supplies a 0-5v output. You will plug the output from your wide band controller into our interface.
Is a Wideband Sensor & Controller included with the MPVI Pro?
No. You would need to purchase this separatly from a company such as Innovate motorsports, PLX, AEM, Etc.
How many external devices can I have with the MPVI Pro?
We have provisions for 4 external devices that use a 0-5v output signal.
Does the Standard MPVI come with the scanner too?
Yes it comes with the hardware, the same scanner the pro comes with & the same editor package as the pro comes with.
Does the Standard MPVI come with the same amount of credits as the Pro MPVI?
Yes, both the Standard & Pro Version come with 8 credits.
How much would it cost to upgrade from the Standard MPVI to the Pro MPVI if I decided to upgrade later?

I went with the MPVI PRO mainly for th blackbox feature - I really don't want to be driving around with my laptop in my car.
The $500.00 IS a tuner - and has all of the same functions (as far as actual tuning goes) as the $650.00 version, it just doesn't allow analog input and also requires you to have your laptop in your car with you while your scanning. If you plan to scan/tune yourself, the PRO is the way to go - if your taking it to a shop to get tuned and just want to be able to flash back/make small changes, the basic should do you fine.
If you end up getting the basic and then want to upgrade you are going to pay extra - so make sure you get what you really need.
