Apples and oranges here.
The Works flash is a reflash of the ECU. It is not a tuning device, but rather is a static modification to the existing ECU that rewrites its program.
The Xede is a piggyback computer that is user programmable for the purpose of tweaking any combination of mods via a dyno.
The Xede costs more, but you gain flexibility. If you want something to plug in and be done with it, Works flash, Dynoflash, etc. are viable options.
If you want the flexibility of tuning your setup via a dyno to get every last bit of power out of it, the Xede delivers this capability, albeit at a higher cost than a static flash.

If you won't be tuning it, and just want to get it and forget it, get the P2.
If you want to tune your own car the XEDE would suit your needs better.
In the end I chose the P2 since I was not going to tune my own car.

Xede, because I like the idea of running two fuel maps, 91 and 100. A reprogram is different in scope and purpose than a user programable interface. Works has a very nice, perfectly integrated package.

I don't have the xede yet but planning on getting it cuz they won the 1 lap of America and proven their stuffs actually work and not just all talks. However vishu stuffs are more expensive than others.

I'm waiting for Shiv's new book "How to re-calibrate a dyno for peak #s and position the temp sensor for dummies"
Looks like a best seller to me
