Default Tuning a 2005+ Mustang GT... Brenspeed or Bamachips--which is better?

I need some input guys. I don't care if it's personal preference, I would just like to hear from as many people as possible. Here it goes:
I can get the C&L Street Intake with the X-cal 3 from bamachips for $699 or I can get the C&L Street Intake with the X-cal 2 from Brenspeed for $659. Not sure which one to go with. If you can give me some good input on which one to choose I would appreciate it. Thanks again.

Go Bamachips bud. Doug does some pretty sick tunes.

Thanks. So no real difference between the two then?

Both are top-tier tuners. There may be slight differences but nothing major. Bama tunes do tend to run a little on the rich-side.

Brenspeed will adjust your tunes for free with additional parts you buy from them in the future. I don't know if Bamachips does that or not. They are both awesome. I personally have tunes from Brenspeed (you can buy 3 octanes for $125) and I am extremely pleased with the feel of the car now.

Bama chips tunes are awsome! especially for the automatics their prices will be compatable. Doug will also adjust your tunes even though you didn't buy the extra Mods from him.
Can't say anything about Breenspeed.

Im happy with Brenspeed, I havent run any other tunes yet though.

Id say call them and talk to each of them, see who you feel would do better for you. I like knowing there are decent people handling my products and people who care, so I always call (on big orders)...

I personally haven't dealt with B ama, but I have had nothing but excellent service with Brenspeed.
They are #1 IMO.

Call both of them up and see when they can deliver the products you want. If time is a issue.

I use Brenspeed and had not deal with B ama but would believe they are pretty equal. I use Brenspeed because he's only 1 hour away from me.
