JB4 will provide more power, features, flexibility, security, upgrades,etc... Active 8 will provide more power

Both Jb4 and Active 8 are better options than options mentioned above

The b58 sport unit has not begun shipping yet. Early February you will probably start to see some reviews on Dinan's low cost tuning solution.

Go with JB4. Dinan has the worst customer service.

I disagree with this. In general, JB4 has tons of problems and threads asking for help. JB4 is a rushed to market cheap tune aimed at producing the best numbers possible ignoring potential negative side effects

Completely false. The JB4 gets more stringent testing than any other system out there. It recently passed TUV design and emissions testing for many EU models. If you see more JB4 support requests its because A) there are so many more out there B) it's available for so many different vehicle models and C) there are a lot of extra features and functions for help to ask for help about.

I'd say a good 70% of the complaints/issues with JB4 are installer/software errors. Like plugging something in wrong or using outdated software, etc.

I have never owned a Juice Box. I've owned a Procede, but I can say I'd much rather support a product developer who has an actual presence on the venue I frequent. Its not hard to give Terry a call or email. On the other hand, how often do you speak to Steve Dinan?

I suppose they do have a presence on the new platform stuff. At least they have a vendor account here, that is promising.
