I have and I guess we both have to admit that both my quote and your link boil down to not much more then angled marketing hype. It just a matter of who you believe and what you want to buy at that point.
RBE is GREAt I am sure - I just dont agree with people dismissing the BP.
The BP is defo marketing hype. Personally I won’t be buying either or any tuning module, because I’d rather spend the money on upgrading me as a rider
My issue with the BP comes from my memories of the car “tuning” boxes being sold for £50ish that were all the rage a few years ago claiming power increases etc which were just a resistor in a box. No doubt, the BP is a step up from that with the ambient temperature sensor, but in my eyes, all it does is make that resistor a variable potentiometer instead (this is even mentioned on their own website), which probably explains the size of the module lol
The fact that BP has the quote below on their website has made me write them off as a reputable company with a decent product, and I wouldn’t even consider giving them any money

With the BoosterPlug you will have a better solution than the complicated and expensive Power Commander that is almost impossible to set up correctly.
What an absolute load of bollocks to compare their resistor to a renowned, legitimate, remappable piggyback ECU
The RB easy isn’t massively complex by the looks of it. The two trim adjusters give it an element of “resistor” type behaviour, but because the lambda signal is oscillating, it requires more processing. They’re enriching fuelling by altering something that measures the air fuel ratio directly, instead of messing with temperature sensor.
Anyway, if I was to get a tuning product it would be to gain power via remapping with supporting mods, and the choice would be Between power commander, powertronic, rapidbike evo.
I think it says a lot that Boosterplug don’t have any comparable products to the above
