Utec or Haltech EMS?
Alright, so I'm down to the final stages of my build and I'm trying to decide if I want to go with the Utec or Haltech? Price is not a concern, just overall power, safety, drive ability, and tune quality.
Tim at Exact Dyno is tuning for me and does great work with the Utec, but he says the Haltech is a better unit and he has the new software for tuning it.
Any feedback on which option you'd recommend and why?

Spew-Tech = headache and general P.I.A. F.I. and multiply your problems by about 3. The Haltech running parallel = smooth full control with no glitches. These are my experiences and many I know.

Thanks!
The FCon is not an option, due to the lack of tuners available. I have heard that HKS has some crazy rules for tuners to get the software. Apparently, they have to be selling a certain amount of HKS product to be able to tune.
The Haltech sounds like the way to go. I'll look at what all needs to be changed on my order to accommodate that change. Thanks for the advice!

4-6 MAPS
600-650 WHP Safely
Easy changing of MAPS and easy to read/understand feedback
Non-piggyback setup (ideally)
I don't want to lose the dash

You could do 600whp on the UTEC with no issues if you wanted to go cheap. If the UTEC is tuned correctly you will not have any issues with it, and you will not know it's there. For more power you will have to go with one of the other 3 options already mentioned.

But, i would say with the problems people are having with the utec and TurboXS's lack of updating the utec, go haltech.

UTEC, for the price, is a decent EMS. However, given that you said price is not a concern, Haltech is much, much better.
Even if price is a concern, I would say go slightly cheaper in some other area, and get the Haltech.

I never understood peoples need for different maps with different boost levles. I have 565whp and I don't see the need for other maps. If i were to run different octanes then there would be a need for additional maps. Unless your doing that it's pointless.
