I have a couple pictures but no movies cause my camera sucks. Ive been trying to find someone with a good video camera that I can borrow.
I would invite you along but my car is going to be full most likely. Your welcome to drive down though if you want to check it out.

Accessport: $500
Protune: $500
XPT Map: $130
AP Pros: Easy, Quick, Map Switching on the fly (not sure how this helps but you can do it)
AP Cons: Not a custom tune for your car, underpowered to keep it safe for a wider array of cars
Protune Pros: Perfectly custom tune for your car, even if you've strayed a bit from the norm stage 2. You get a dyno sheet, which is pretty cool.
Protune Cons: You have to drive there? Really at stage 2 I don't think you can list a con. No valet lockout mode like the AP maybe?
Open Source Off the Shelf Maps (ex XPT)
Pros: Cheap Cheap Cheap. Otherwise same as AP except you use your laptop and not a gameboy
Cons: Same as AP cons
If I were Ryan from Topsham I would....
...get an OTS map from XPT, have one of the romraiders on here help me load it (STInate). The maps are like $130. Then when I keep buying more mods and I quickly slip past the normal stage 2 stopping point I would get a protune. Once you leave the beaten path the Accessport becomes pointless
If you ever go past stage

can the pro-tuning info b stored in an access port for future reloading in case it gets melted?
I assume the info can B saved as my toy has two maps on it: the one designed for my car by the builder and one that is turned way down due to the status of gasoline...

Lets look at it this way.
Accessport + Cobbs preloaded maps = Laptop(free if you own one) + Xpt's inexpensive maps.
Xpt maps typically run more boost then cobb's maps only a little but it is there. They are very safe. My tuner had plenty of good things to say about them.
Yes I have owned a accessport and it was a handy little pocket sized device which did make it easier for reseting cel's and flashing maps. Lets face it though do you want to spend the extra cash on the accessport or more mods?
Im sure Gabe found his accessport in northen nh on craigslist for like $1
so if you find one that cheap it is the clear winner.
