TW is priced better, with free reburns. But my buddy has TW and he says the free reburns come at a cost, his convenience....
I personaly am going to swamps diesel performance, I have just heard a lot about them and what to give them a shot.
BTW - I have DP-Tuner now.

Either one will work. What kind of tunes are you looking for? Do you prefer the push button switch or the selector ****? Do you plan on doing more upgrades in the future? If so, Tony does free reburns as mentioned. Do you like the idea of a drive thru tune or no start tune? If so, Jody is the one that offers those.
It really boils down to a matter of preference on some of the little things. You won't go wrong with either one.

What the others have said is gospel. You can't go wrong with either. If you are going to want "perfect tuning" you will want to do live tuning. Then whichever is closer to you would have some influence on which one you choose. DP is in Georgia and TW is in Texas. The more mods you do the more chance that live tuning would benefit you.

If you're convinced that you want a JW VB, the go with Jody. Apparently he tunes to how John sets up that VB. We're getting into low level details here, but one thing I'm still a little confused about is how JW does his VB with no calibration plate like BTS & TransGo use. I have the TG Tugger with Tony's tunes and couldn't be happier.
Regarding the convenience thing, yeah it's an issue and a good point if you go with an F6. If you go with a DP F5, you still have to send it in for reburns and pay $25 per custom tune, IIRC. Not sure how they do it with the F6, but I'm guessing you still pay that fee, but you can upgrade it yourself using USB with files downloaded or sent to you over email. But then the F6 is more $$$. Like everyone said, up to your preference...
