Okay, lets drop Ed here, as it isn't important to the discussion, IMO, and just gets people butt hurt.

A professional tuner with a dyno should be able to make a map at the same price a re-tune from S2 would have cost. Their customers, yes, need to find a new shop, but its not exactly like they are left in the cold when it comes to re-tunes. When taken to a reputable tuner, it shouldn't take any more time or money then a re-tune at S2 would have.
