I was looking at picking up a Scangauge II when I ran across some programmers that have some nicer displays, the same features, plus boast fuel mapping and improved performance. The price isn't that significant to me, but the lack of flexibility when I go to replace my car in 2-3 years is a little irksome. That said, I'll probably go with another Honda so it might not matter. I'm currently driving a 2002 Acura RSX-s; an engine that seems like it could be tuned down far easier than tuned up anymore.

Here's what I'm looking at:
Jets Power Programmer model #67021 (can't post links because I'm a noob, but google should get you there)

Will fuel mapping and the other features actually help, hurt, or are they just a waste of money over the Scangauge for adjusting the nut behind the wheel.

Thanks!
