I'd dont have either one, but the points I've read on both site lead me to say efiLive is the better choice.

can't argue the freebies! that is awesome, maybe if EFI gets a larger following HPT will change policy to meet the market demand.
Hopefully in the long run, EFI's freebies will benefit both suites.

Oh yeah I use to have ls1edit a long long time ago that was the biggest waste of money for the service and updates that you had to pay for if they updated anything past like 6 months.

Ive got Edit. It works and serves its intended purpose.

That aside, how does Edit suck? Do you know how to use it? If tuning software was like using a Hypertech Im sure everybody would have it and it would be awesome. But its not. Majority of people who down Edit just plain dont know how to use it. Simple fact of the matter is, there is no idiot proof tuning software.

I do know how to use the software granted I did have an older version of edit I just wasn't pleased with it compared to hpt.

Edit has a nasty habit of frying PCM's.
Edit CAN NOT recover bad flashes.
Edit does not offer custom O/S's.
Edit does not have a decent scanner.

I am not sure if you can use wideband with Edit or not.

Oh, and the layout sucks.

Hey man. It works, like it or not. Ive been on this board for a long time and Missouri F-Body and I have yet to see somebody who fried a PCM. Im still on my ORIGINAL PCM. Thats right. I bought Edit way way before HPT was a twinkle in someones eye. Thus im not gonna drop another $500 bucks just to get another setup when Edit works fine. What software do you have? PP3 doesnt count. Have you actually used any of these packages to tune anything? Or have you based your insight on what you have read on the net? Just curious.
