I would get the UTEC if you want to have multiple maps and like datalogging/tuning. If you want to tune and forget, I'd get a flash.

If you like to switch parts, try new things, go with the TXS utec. I had very BAD experience with flash! The flash i had was suppose to be a "custom" road tune but it ended up to be a copy/paste of someones previous tune. With the flash, i got 4 degrees spark advancement at peak torque.......on the utec, i got 8 degrees!

If you just want to tune it once and for all and not trying new equipment anymore, make sure you get it tuned on a dyno! So that you can get a before and after result and not "Bro thats a what i call a quality tune"...yeah AFR/timing is pretty, nice flowing transistion to look at but its nowhere near optimum.
