All depends on what you want. As far as how your car will improve, it will be the same tune loaded on both.

The window one just lets you do more and observe how your car is running.

I'd stick with the SF3 if I were you. The Livewire has more options but I doubt you'll ever use them.

I looked into the Livewire and ended up getting a deal on a Diablo.

Livewire definitely looks nice but I don't think I could justify the $500.

The hand held can remove your top speed and such I believe.
