If the Cobb unit is like the one for the subarus, the advantage is you can flash it on the go depending on your situation, if you want a fuel efficient map you can use that, if you want a valet map, you can use that, etc..

ECUFlash FTW.
For a less then the price of the Cobb unit you can have one or many different flashes. the only advantage with the cobb is that you will have a hand held unit you need to carry around to swap tunes and w/ ECUFlash if you want to swap tunes you need your computer.

ECUFlash is the way to go because it allows more flexibility with your tune. If you are going to the track you can bring your laptop just as easily as you could bring the Cobb unit and tweak your ECU.

ECUflash, because there are a LOT of mods that can be had for the price of the Cobb unit.
