I would tune yours with opensource on SD.

Most of our more modified Subaru customers have no trouble affording an Accessport and would rather have a quick and easy way to read codes and switch tunes instead of dealing with the opensource stuff. I prefer the Accessport since it offers realtime tuning and it's all contained in 1 program. When I tune opensource on the Subarus, I use 4-5 programs and every change requires turning the car off and doing a reflash, which can make SD tuning take a while. It's probably 50/50 for opensource versus Acessport tuning on the Subaru's I do, versus 95% opensource on the Evos. It's funny how few people use opensource on the DSMs. But DSMLink is very good and it's SD implementation is extremely good (better than any opensource and better than the SD on the AEM EMS), except it's VERY slow to update.
