CAI Decision - Dinan or AFE Stage 2

So i'm thinking about getting a CAI. OK - not thinking. Most likely my next mod.

My question is should I get the AFE CAI S2 or the Dinan? Based on not really being concerned about the 10 Pts Dinan and getting badged. And also wanting the Dinan Stage 3 software.

AFE Stage 2 = $500
Dinan CAI = $739 (+15% off promo)

So if i don't necessarily plan on getting the 10 points, how do I justify getting the CAI? Get my point?

Also - is the Stage 3 software useless if i have AFE CAI? Should I get Stage 2, or is that useless without the Dinan? I doubt it but i'm asking all these questions because i don't know. I've done hte searching but not sure if my question has been answered specifically.

I was thinking the Stage 3 because I MAY get the throttle body, i at least want the option.

So help me make my decision on next mods. I was really thinking to go DINAN - just because if i do end up getting things and end up with 7 points, it would suck - cuz the Dinan CAI is 3 points - so i'd have my 10. Even though it's not the goal..

maybe i just answered my own question but still need to justify the $200 difference when i've heard they do the same thing. What are the chances of getting a used Dinan CAI? LOL.
