Edge tuner or ?????

I have an Edge tuner and it is ok but I would like to know if there is a better tuner out there or is it waste of money for the difference ( if any ) over another brand ?? Mine is a few years old and I did not know if I could get an few more horses out it??? It is only the three setting and no flip switch.

I ran the evolution for about 1 year before I switched over to a dp tuner 4 position chip. The thing that really sets our trucks back is their injector size (100cc). They limit how much fuel the motor can intake. I read that a well tuned engine can make between 2-2.2 hp for every cc in injector size, so with stock injector you will not make more than 220HP. I did notice a big difference in how smooth the engine runs with the dp tuner chip.
With the edge I could get a peak boost of 24psi and A LOT of smoke
With the dp tuner I can get 26 psi with less smoke than the edge.
Also egts are cooler when towing. I really like to be able to switch setting on the fly. But if are looking for more HP your stock injectors are maxed out with the edge.
