The table switching in the software makes the resolution far greater than 16x16... you can choose what the trigger is for the table switch such as manifold pressure. Many people will create a 16x16 fuel map for under 100kpa (all motor) and set the switching table switching to 100kpa+ (turbo) so the engine moves to another 16x16 fuel table when in boost. This gives resolution of double the 16x16 standard. Double. The resolution is insane. I-n-s-a-n-e. Looks like Emerald has an external toggle switch for table switching. Even if they have software enabled table switching I don't think it's important enough to make my top 5 features that Emerald lacks.
1) My favorite by far is the bluetooth, mobile device tuning capability. No cables necessary... and there is a smartphone app for gauges AND tuning in the Google store so you don't even need a freaking laptop anymore. You can tune with your cell phone. GPS enabled for tracking your laps if you're a racer... more features are constantly being added due to open-source development.
2) Individual cylinder trim percentage from the main fuel map. This allows you to tune on another level entirely. Many engines have "hot" or leaner cylinders than the rest - you can tune these to match the rest now. I use the bank trim control on my other v6 engine as the exhaust bank runs leaner than the front/intake bank.
3) Software enabled traction control.
4) Water-methanol injection programmable control.
5) Community support forums and free education.
6) Tunerstudio software/end user configurable GUI for gauges and tuning.
The list would be long so I'll quit there.

Most tuners here won't touch a MS, to many cans of worms from the 95% MS users who hasn't got a clue.
And most dynooperators won't lend you dyno time to tune yourself.

I tune myself although there are many competent tuners who will gladly tune the MS (also has an auto-tune feature). For those that have a clue this is the best bang for the buck anywhere.
