But even just idling, the Stage 2 just didn't feel right. The idle would wander and even just puttering around town the engine felt rough. I wouldn't think that idling and low power driving would be that affected by 91 on a 93 tune.

In any case, personally, I'm happier on the Stage 1. In fact, today I flashed it back to the stock M2 factory tune. I'll give it a couple weeks and do some logs to see how it compares with Stage 1.
If it's harsh idling and putting around, it's likely there was something wrong with the car. You need to log even with a stage 1 tune.
