So far, the user support from Phil at Element Tuning has been astoundingly good, and there are currently no hardware/compatibility/bugs being complained about. Those are the reasons why I'm getting a Hydra ASAP.

Nope. Just what I've seen on their websites. But I'm less worried about the interface and more about the support I'd get with either one after the purchase.
