I'm installing a micro-tech right know, so I cant say from experience. Just from what Ive heard and read. But the micro-tech is said to be user friendly and easy on the noobs. But it all boils down to who your local tuner is, and what there comfortable with. Also it comes down with what your goals are for the car.

You have nice support for it, and tuning it is easy as sin... Its nice to just connect everything and just be able to drive the car with no probs right outta the box....
Pressure sensor is built in for the MS's also.
muythaibxr (the MS section moderator) is also developing a plug n' play MSnS. It will plug into the STOCK harness on the rx7, have a base map ready to go. Fully tuneable and everything you need, for something like $420 shipped I believe.
MSEFI forum has great support, as well as the MS section of this club from muythaibxr, he is always willing to help.
So what's the issue again?

Yah the laptop software for MS has all those gauges too
And you can set it up to run accessory/misc stuff, like fans, bac, etc
Sounds pretty similar to me! But hey, I'm just giving you ****, no worries.

Ignition timing? In what aspect/s? As far as ignition timing on the gauge versus what is set/what the car is seeing? Ignition timing set in the tables versus what the car actually sees?

I personally do not have a *lot* of experience, only minimal when installing/some basic tuning. But from what I saw it was pretty dead on. However like I said, it was only very little in the beginning and I have not gone in extensively with the MSnS yet.

i'm deciding which one to buy, the microtech or the haltech. i've been told that with the microtech you're able to use the stock coils but you cant with the haltech. also i've been told that microtech has 2 settings(1 for load and the other for crusing) but haltech has only the load. can anyone here shed some insight on that?
