Poll- Ess v. Giac purchase and satisfaction

Hey guys, I'm trying to decide between Giac and Ess flashes. Could you please indicate if you went for one or the other and how satisfied you are, regarding performance, daily drive ability, mileage, reliability, and if you have any troubles taking the car back to the dealer and reflashing back to stock? Thanks so much!

Not interested in the Cobb? Been hearing lots of great things about it lately.

ESS is fantastic IMO. I have their S/C on my M3 and have had ZERO issues in over 2 years. The 1M tune is via their handheld flasher and I can load the stock file back to the 1M at any time within minutes. The performance gains are significant and definitely noticed! With the tune you can easily take down stock M3's!
