Good thoughts, MR2greasemonkey. I almost completely agree. The only thing I wouldn't entirely agree with is the "what you can feel" thing. For example, wasted fire coil packs are easier on the wallet when compared with COP. An owner would feel that, just not when on the road. Sequential injection helps out at the pumps, which you certainly do feel. Engine safety things (like dual mapping for water injection) MIGHT be felt if the system has an issue. Knock response would be the same way.

So yes, it depends on what you want to do with the car. Turbo with port nitrous, water injection and E85? Better go with a good EMS. NA 5VZ with a distributor? A MS could probably handle most of what that engine has (save perhaps the evap system, if you wanted to use it). Want to use VVTL-i? That's definitely for the Nemesis, not MS!
