Smile Need to switch standalones! Which one to choose?

Im running a Sakura Motorsports standalone website for reference www.sakuramotorsports.com. Im running the fc-10 which sadly only does fuel and not ignition. I would like to switch to something that does do ignition and there are so many brands getting pretty lost on where to go. Also if i choose a different ecu is the wiring harness im using going to work or is the pin out going to be different? Attached a photo of the pin out for my computer but the full manual is on the website. Have searched on here and these ecu's havent really been talked about much. Any advice on other computers people have had good experiences with is appreciated. Im running a stock s5 turbo motor with the stock turbo still.

Yes, it does get confusing. See my posts here on how to choose an EMS:

Where are the ignition output pins on the Sakura connector?

Exactly what i was thinking there is none haha. Hopefully i can find a buyer for my whole standalone with wiring so i can recoup some money on the new unit i end up buying. Also forgot to add that its not a street car anymore just a track drift car.

Thinkin about microtech lt-10 seems pretty good and cost effective. Anyone have any input about these systems? Seen a post from 2009 saying it has some seriously outdated software, now in 2012 have they finally released the new software they promised?
