I've found in my experience that most FC owners don't have the knowledge or skills to fabricate parts themselves, nor do they have the bank accounts to absorb the shock of a high end ECU. Fortuneately for them, they seem to be younger and more in tune (no pun intended) with computers and programming and such. I am not one of those people. It's like foreign language for me, I'm just not that good at it. Just like some people can practice for days on end without a break behind a welding mask and still not be able to lay down a decent bead, I can't pick up on languages and the like. But withen an hour of owning my TIG was I laying down some nice beads. For me, it wasn't the hastle and the time to learn an MS. However, given an unlimited budget or not, I would still opt for the MoTeC though because of the software, both the V3 ECU software and the i2 Interpreter (datalogging) software, and the support offered by the company. Those three things are very VERY important to me.

Hell, I sent an email to to gent @ Motec that had been helping me along the way just giving him a final score from the dyno, and MENTIONED what I had in mind for the winter months. 3 hours later on a SATURDAY where detailed answers to the "questions" that I had mentioned.

Motecs support and software is better than all in my opinion, and those are important to me and worth the cost. Especially seeing as how there would be a tremendous learning curve for me with the MS. I do however think that there would be a market for people like yourself that could crank out an MS, install it and tune it, for less than the price of a full blown ECU or close to it.
