Default Programmer dilemma

Just ordered a set of 35s and was looking into programmers to adjust the speedo, get some extra horses, etc.
I can't make up my mind between the Hypertech 52501 and the Superchips 3875.
Any programming gurus out there feel like giving their .02 ?
Price difference is only $40. So cost is not really a factor and I know there is an update for the Hypertech just released.

Not sure if the brand h updates have caught up to the feature set of the Superchips Flashpaq, but I never could get as much power out of the brand h as I did from my Flashpaq. Additionally, if you have an automatic, the optional advanced trans tune is a truly powerful feature allowing end user custom tuning of the shift points. No more short shifts and kick downs before you scraped off all your velocity.

I'm actually running a 6spd so that aspect doesn't really concern me much. I was referring more to the elockers in all modes which would be great for me in our crappy winter climate so i can lock just the rear without having to engage 4-hi and the tpms delete.
Unless I'm not aware, the flashpaq doesn't have those features. Power is however also a factor and from what I've been reading you have a point with the flashpaq outperforming the hypertech... hmmm

Here ya go.

http://www.superchips.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=AzH5sZtDb8g%3d&tabid=146

A lot of these features Superchips was first to bring to the table.

87 Performance Tune

91 Performance Tune

93 Performance Tune

Towing Tune

Crawling Tune

Save Calibration

Optional Advanced Transmission Tune

User Adjustable Speed Limiter

Tire Size Calibration

Differential Calibration

Transfer Case Calibration

4WD-HI Axle Lock

Real Time Idle Up

Fan Temperature Control

TPMS Threshold Adjustment

Read and Clear DTCs

Internet updateable

I recently upgraded to a Superchips Vivid that has additional features, but I'm scratching my head trying to remember if the throttle pedal adjustment was on the Flashpaq. I'm sure someone else can chime in on it.

Thanks JPop - I think I may just go with the SC and maybe just do a elocker bypass. Simple enough solution.
And i just read somewhere that there is a release for a tpms complete disable.... SOLD
