What are the pro's and con's of a Motec M800 for an OBD2 NSX? I have been looking at the AEM but it doesn't control the drive by wire. Additionally, it seems that the Motec does many more things than the AEM performs - maybe I'm wrong in this assumption.

I have researched Prime in regards to this but can only find installations that were perform many years ago and only on OBD1 vehicle's; seems mostly 91 cars but they were all extremely happy with the units.

Seems that a person can get into one of these ECU's for about 3k if you buy it direct from Australia (The US dealers are crazy priced from what I can see). Any advantages, disappointments, this is overkill statements are welcome with a reason as to why.

Please keep in mind that I'm not trying to compare every ECU on the planet, I'm more interested in the difference between units that are proven to perform well on the NSX and will support everything without a piggyback computer option or keeping the factory ECU for partial funtionality such as the SOS MLS AEM modified unit does. We all know that the AEM FMU is great, I'm looking for a little more than that though.

Caveat - Would be used for Turbo NSX motor
