Is your point is that the CarBahn tune has its tradeoffs? That's how I read your post.

One will see modest gains and the solution is inflexible regarding tweaking. Not for everyone. However, there is clearly a market for such tunes.

A CarBahn flash tune review, or a Dinan flash tune review, will implicitly focus on the trade-offs between performance gains against level of effort, reliability (risk-taking), support, costs, etc. It is easy to state the tunes are not interesting. It takes a bit of effort to explain that for a different investment in dollars and time, one can have more flexibility at a cost of reliability. How much is too much per performance? These tunes are filling a niche.
