EMS Rtech or Microtech

Due to a having trusted EMS tuner close I have started to deviate from going micro tech in my new project. There a couple of microtech guys but none that I know personally and they are kinda far. So i talked to the guy and he says to go with the EMS Rtech but before I do that, Id like to have some feedback from guys that have used them.
Is it worth it to drive further to a microtech tuner or I will be fine with the EMS...
car will have a semi pp turbo 13BRE. Anybody has any knowledge about the EMS ability to tune each rotor individually? pro's and con's? any info will be apreciated.

ok well we can say they are both good. but people that i know with the rtech ?? none. all i can tell you about it is that they tried to sell me one ?? they claim that is the best and will **** on microtech... this is what they told me a bit more than a year ago.. i ask them if i can see a car running with it and all they said was .. ohh this car in PR is running hard ohh this guy in orlando is running hard etc etc. but the shops personal car was giving many problems with it and i never seen it run.. if is good ? i think is good like all engine management systems is all about the person understanding it and your likes where in florida are you?

If I were faced with this dilemma, I'd have to base it on price.

If the car is solid as far as frame, body panels , interior components, electrical, etc... the motor and tuning issues wouldnt matter too much.

Having the foundation is a bit more important for a car like this imo. Emu can be or whole turbo set up can be changed.

It just seems the car is getting harder to find in good condition.

A little off topic, but does anyone know how to contact the guys that supported the RTech EMS?
I suspect they haver retired or moved onto better and greater things.
I've been running the RTech since 2003, got a free firmware upgrade about 2007 but am chasing down a copy of the programming software that runs on any PC newer than Windows 7x86. I am currently using Windows 10x64 with Windows 7x86 VM to modify my setup and Win 7 is a pain for screen resolution with this setup.
BTW, the only issue with the EMS is that the o2 active control mucked up occasionally. I have it disabled.

Kind regards
Shawky

Mazda Rx7 Series 4 Turbo, modified, ported, doweled etc, getting ready for a rebuild after losing compression rear rotor as a consequence of testing behavior on 95, 98, E85, E10 and tuning on the fly! Pre ignition on E10 killed it at 2500rpm.
