The hardware does what the hardware does, it's up to you to tune it, though.

You seem to imply that only MS can do this...

The fact of the matter is that almost any competent aftermarket EMS can do this, and it's not limited to MS.
My Haltech E8 has no problem doing any of the above that you have mentioned unless one of it's sensors dies - I recently had a TPS (*#%& GM sensors) fail on me.
Anyone that has driven my car also comments how "OEM" it feels and drives.

Bottom line...the EMS if only as effective as the tune or how competent the tuner is.
Given the best EMS like a MoTeC in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they are doing, and it's...useless.
