Question Power FC users pros - cons

I wanted to list the characteristics and some of the options. Followed by some opinions from FC owners.

Currently available only through Power Excel Shops, the Power FC replaces the factory ECU and controls all engine parameters.(Off road use only, no OBD-II) Installation is as easy as replacing the factory ECU. (Some minor rewiring is required on select vehicles.) The factory engine harness does not need to be replaced and all critical accessories such as air conditioning continue to function.
So I guess guys running OBII are out of the picture.

In Monitor Mode, the Commander can display up to 10 parameters of data in real time. Monitor Mode can display:

Engine RPM
Ignition Timing
Vehicle Speed
Air Flow Voltage (Pressure Sensor Voltage)
Injector Duty Cycle
Boost
Knocking Level
Battery Voltage
Intake Air Temp
Water Temp
These are nice but they seem to take the place of my techtom so this would be a trade up.

Complete boost control is possible by using the optional Boost Control Kit (Not necessary for vehicles that come factory turbocharged.).
This is also interesting and I think I would get this as well.

BOOST CONTROL KIT

The Boost Control Kit is an optional kit designed to control boost through the Power FC. Simple connection to the Power FC allows the user to access a full self-learning boost controller. The Power FC allows up to 4 different boost presets for any stage of driving. The high grade solenoid valve is the same one used in our Super AVC-R boost controller. As with the S-AVCR, the Boost control kit allows increased boost response and boost stability at high RPM's



So how do you guys like your power FCs? Are their any areas where you feel they lack?
