I don't know what the table by table breakdown is (hptuners.com under FAQ has a bunch of info) but as far as I'm concerned there are 3 HUGE benefits of HP Tuners over LS1 Edit:
1. Not VIN (actually ls1 edit is PCM locked) locked... will work on any car of that make and model
2. PCM Recovery built into HP TUners ... I killed my PCM 2 years ago w/ls1 edit (lost connection during a write) ... cost me 50 bux at a dealership to have the PCM reflashed and I had to borrow a friends spare PCM ... HP Tuners built PCM recovery into their product... no extra charge.. .you lose connection... no problem just recover the PCM
3. Hp Tuners is a site sponsor
