Predator vs. SCT vs. Sniper

I'm trying to choose which tuner is for me. From what i've read each one has its advatanges and disadvantages, however i have no experience what so ever tuning so hopefully ya'll can help me. This is the information i've complied for each one

Predator
Ease of use
Mail Order tunes through the internet
Seems many are for sale now meaning cost is alot less.
Local tuners can use it


SCT XCal II
Ease of use
Great data logging tools, leading to better mail order tunes
Used by all local dyno tuners
Wide user base

Sniper
Extreme ease of use with new products through my computer
Data logging ability
I've read that the tunes in general are better than other mail order tunes.
Not really any tuners near by use it, although ryan is having a dyno day in so cal, but im not sure how often that will take place
If i sell my truck, i can not take the tune off due to upgrades and i can not just give them the tuner so it could potentially turn away buyers.

There is a reason why very few Tuners use Sniper software, and the rest use SCT or Diablo

the man who started diablo started sniper. just because few shops use it doesnt mean its bad. its new software and dealers probably dont want to spend 5k on three different types of software.

i would call ryan, he's a dealer for all three. one of the best lighting tuners imo and ive used all three from him and sniper has had the best short and long term results. and for the price of the hardware icouldnt beat it. hes going to be in southern california, you should stop by his shop and ask him this weekend.
