F55/F56 NM Power Module vs Dinan Elite Performance Tuner

NM Power Module vs Dinan Elite Performance Tuner
I have a 2015 Cooper S with the NM Engineering Power Module. I've had it for 2 years at least with no problems, but just saw that Dinan makes the Elite Performance Tuner with bigger power gains over the NM product. The Dinan hooks up to 3 sensors vs one for the NM. I'm curious if anyone has made the switch from the NM to the Dinan Elite and what the experience is like. My power definitely is better since I added the NM. I run it on stage 2, but just use 91 octane. I don't track the car, and NM said I would not experience any issues on stage 2 with 91 octane. My MPG actually improved by 1 mpg.

I have and the Elite is definitely worth the upgrade as it makes the power more consistent along the entire power band. The NM module gives you that big boost at low RPMs and peters off while the Elite module has more control over the engine and it works better at all engine speeds. Installation is just as easy (two more connectors) and it's warrantied as well.
MPG did take a hit since it now has control over the fuel as well. My Clubman was getting ~25 mpg before now it gets closer to 22, but I'm always in SPORT and I'm definitely not driving conservative.
Overall, very happy with the purchase.
