SCT or Diablosport?

I've been planning on getting a handheld tuner and I just saw that AM started selling Diablosport tuners. Are the Bama tunes exactly the same on each? I watched the videos for each and the Diablo showed a gain of 20hp on a 2013 5.0 and the SCT showed a gain of 10hp on an sn95 V6. (I know the videos are skewed).
Btw, I have a 2004 V6.

Which would you guys reccomend?

The difference there is only due to it being a different engine. Diablosport/SCT is just hardware. The tune is BAMA and will be the same on either of them.

That being said... I'm going with SCT. I'm more familiar with it and i have no need to hide that I've tuned it.

So would it be better for me to get a Steeda tune:

or a Bama tune:

I know your gains would be different from my car, but I'd like to hear which one you prefer.

I ran a 93 Bama tune in my bolt-on 04 GT and never had any issues, ran pretty well for a 2v.

Check up on my build thread in the 05-09 section, and I'll let you know how everything works out. I'm currently just waiting on an insurance estimate.

Get what ever hand held your tuner wants to tune with. If your looking for just a canned tune then it doesn't matter.
