Basically the main advantages of the AP is that you can have multiple maps (street, high octane, valet mode, anti-theft, etc) and you also have the ability to easily sell the AccessPORT if you sell your car. If these advantages are not important, then you can go with an Ecutek reflash which just reflashes the stock ECU with no other devices to play with. Please feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.
Thanks

Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

You're correct on everything except your last statement. Once you have the Ecutek license stored on your ECU, any Ecutek licensed tuner can re-tune that ECU without using up another license, so you're not necessarily tied to a particular tuner. One more thing I'd like to add is that while any Ecutek tuner can tune any ECU that has an Ecutek license on it, there is no way for a tuner to download the map that's currently on the ECU. This was done to protect the intellectual property of individual tuners.
