Good poll! I wonder the same. Im kind of leaning toward HPtuners, but EFI Live looks good to.

Edit sucks.

HPT is totally adequate. V2.0 will be a big improvement.

EFILive is clearly the most versatile package out there.

I have now played with all of them, and to me, EFILive is the easiest to use and has the better features.

Either way(HPT or EFILive) you will be OK.

I'll reserve my opinion until after you get EFI and I get Ver 2.0, that will be a better comparo.

i still dont see how EFILive's current product(which has been out for months) should be compared to V2, which has been promised since January. I like HPT, but comparing a product that is not available to the general public, to EFILive, seems silly?

Do you see my point?

Again, I like HPT. It works great. I just think that it is overpriced for V1.7, and clearly their release schedule and pay for updates scheme is bullshit.

I said after we both have our product?

I may be silly, however I don't think it is unreasonable to wait until V2 comes out to compare them. I would hope at that point both companies were marketing their best product. Now, if V2 never happens, then HPT has more problems than just being the best.

are all the people voting actual users?

If someone who has used EFI Live would be willing to post those features that HPT V1.7 does not have I would greatly appreciate it.

fwiw, I voted HPT, as Eye-P said, for what their product will be and I am a user.

Learned shift properties for each shift. This is obviously the one I am most concerned with.

Free 2bar

Free custom O/S

Free lifetime updates

Blackbox logging

ability to read HPT .bin and ls1edit files

native USB support
