$1500 seems like a lot of money for a custom tune. Tuneboy does run in PC emulator mode. I haven't tried it yet, but the theory is that you can plug a usb cable into your computer just like plugging a usb cable into a Power Commander. Then the dyno thinks Tuneboy IS a Power Commander. The only reason I can think of for going with a Power Commander instead of Tuneboy (aside from finding a Power Commander for $40) is not having a computer that you can put next to your bike. If you have to buy a computer to run it on, it isn't worth it.

As far as tunes and bikes being inconsistent, you are going to get a bit of that from all manufacturers. Triumph tolerances seem to be as tight as they come, so I would expect to find less variance until you get a whole lot of mileage on your bike.
