Default HP Tuners or EFIlive?

I'm mainly looking for responses from some of the shop owners around here or anyone with actual first hand experience with one or both of the softwares.

I'm looking into buying a suite sometime soon.

I've been reading through a few threads that I found via the search function also, but I want more first hand opinions.

I've worked with both. They both have there plus's and minus's but I prefer Hptuners. Also if you get into a situation where you need a pro's opinion most seem to use Hptuners.

I use HPtuners myself. Ive played with EFIlive, but I just like the feel and flow of HPTuners better.. Seems to be a bit more intuitive.
