Please Help, I Can't Decide

I've been looking to purchase the Buschur Stage 4 which costs about $4,000. But after doing a little bit more research I found that the AMS Stage 3 is $500 bucks cheaper and includes a boost gauge and a set of ARP head studs which the Buschur package does not. They both claim to give you anywhere from 350whp-390whp. The only benefit I can see from the Buschur set up is the battery relocation kit but a set of head studs and a boost gauge sounds like a better trade off. Can you guys please give me some feedback and comments from your own experiences with these two set ups. Mainly, which one of these do you think would be a better buy?

Yeah, thats what I'm saying. To me AMS seems like a better buy, but I just want opinions from people who have or know about these two set ups

BR stage 1 comes with a manual boost controller, not a boost gauge...

I can't speak for the stage 4, but I have essentially Buschur's stage one (plus dynoflash) and it's incredible power for the money. From what I've read, if you're doing the higher stages, you'll definitely want different tuning, like AEM EMS or whatever, but I'm sure you knew that
