Edge Evolution os SCMT

I have narrowed it down to these two programers and they both seem to have about the same things on them, and wanted some advice on which you guys think is best to spend my hard earned money on..thanks for any advice.

I had the opportunity to test drive both programmers from two buddies. IMO the Edge gave MUCH better performance, the added options aren't bad either.

Although I have the edge, which I think is great, I was wondering why you don't seem to want the Predator? I have heard a lot of good things about it. Probably would have been my first choice if they would make one for my truck (97 F250).

I have heard of alot of people having high EGT's with the predator even on the 60 hp setting, even with 4" exhaust.

Sounds like a pretty good reason to me. I have the Evolution and it is great, especially now they have a new upgrade for it which monitors a few more items, like Engine Speed, Engine Oil Temperature, Transmission Fluid Temperature, Transmission Line Pressure, and Exhaust Back Pressure. I don't have the upgrade yet but it sounds like it would be nice to have.
I don't dare use my Evolution to its full potential yet (gauges are in the mail as we speak) but even the tow program has a nice bit of power. Can't wait to try the rest out.

Predator has supposedly fixed the EGT problems. They have an update download that should help on the older controllers.

I have used the SCMt for some time, and now that I have the EVO, I will not go back.
