I've never had anything in life handed to me and I have absolutely never had mommy and daddy in my life to buy me whatever I wanted or to give me butt loads of money. Its always been me against the world and if I wanted something, even to this day, I have to put my mind to work, develop a plan on how to obtain or achieve my objective and ultimately reach my goals...
The same goes for my car and tuning. I do not, and likely may never have the funds to throw at a program like maestro... But I do think that its all about how you approach the program and what the users overall needs are for the program...
Basically from what I've gathered about the program is that it includes a large number of very useful tools and resources that can be extremely helpful in a multitude of various situations...
It has an injector wizard:
You can view log data in realtime and playback log data in a number of different views. This shows log data being played back w/ gauges.
I think of course there are always going to be people out there who want to pay 800 dollars for a shortcut but if someone wanted to do that why not just buy a OTS tune? maestro 7 has a lot of other advantages too as far as I understand. The maps are extremely defined!! when you look at screenshots you can see the detail and how many deifnitions there are. Also you still need to learn how to use the program and in order to run anything more or acomplish anything more than flashing a eurodyne base map to your ecu, you will still need to learn how to make adjustments to various scalers tables and maps, and you need to have AT LEAST general understanding of the way your engine works and what the functions are that play out in your ECU... Because I'm sure you can easily fuck something up same as we can tuning with winOLS and tunerpro... and vagedc15 suite
lol
But thats just my opinion. I've never used the program personally and I never plan to. I've got my workflow locked in no need to change anything even if I hd hundreds of dollars.
