Price of the ECU almost always tells you the benefits of it, but not always. Accuracy is dependant on the CPU power and thus it's ability to interpolate betweeb loadsites. This is what makes the ECU good: having the capability to "create" loadsites.

I looked at MS, but found that VEMS work out much cheaper, having two onboard WB O2 controllers, you just have to provide the sensors (ie no need for innovate LC1 or the likes). The whole conversion will cost me less than $200, but then someone else paid for my controller.

Which reminds me, I also have a MSII v2.2 lying around somewhere...

VEMS is also more like a MS sequencer. Has knock sensor input, up to 8 individual spark and injector outputs, and tons of other great features. I see little point in putting a $4k ECU on a $2k car. Of course, it is also possible that paying $4k for 20 hp is worth it to you, but probably not for street application.
