Jack - you are killing me - hahaha. Now I am looking more CTS.

I want to purchase the CS because it has the same features, but I am worried the gauge display will be too small. Anyone have thoughts?

Also, I am not in a rush - but I can get a CTS for $471 after discounts and rebates this week ($358 for the CS). Does this sound like a great deal - or just a deal? Also, do the price on Edge products generally drop after they have been out for while? I hate to buy this thing and then find out they normally drop the price on their products after 6-months. Sorry for all the questions, I just have not shopped these canned programmers before. With my cars, I would just have a second PCM custom tuned.

Please understand, the CS DOES NOT support the backup camera option.

The gauge display on the CS would be fine though. However, if you look at the pictures 88Racing posted of the two displays, please notice the CS cannot display as many PIDs at once as the CTS. I.e., My CTS is giving me 3 analog style gauges along with 2 digital ones in my current configuration. The CS can only show 2 analog gauges and one center "bar" style gauge.

Both can be switched to all digital gauges and in this configuration, the CTS can display 8 different PIDs. I don't know what the CS can display in this mode though. It MAY be 8 values and it may be less.

Thanks for the followup - I understand about the backup camera. What I was trying to figure out is will be gauges be large enough on the CS. I was just worried with the smaller screen that the gauges would be difficult to see. Thanks again
