Feedback on Vath V63RS upgrade

I am looking for any feedback on Vath V63RS upgrade. Currently the car has a K1 ECU tune and I wanted to see if anyone had done a similar upgrade from simple ECU flash to a full upgrade to the V63RS spec'd as per below:

Individual fine-tuning of ECU** with Vmax upgrade, including sports
air filter, range manifold system made of VA high-grade steel and
back pressure reducing sports catalytic converters.
- Displacement: 6.208 ccm
- Max. power: 414 kW = 565 PS
- Max. torque: 680 Nm
- Vmax: 315 km/h (depending on tire approval)

Cost - 6900 Euro.

The car already is already delimited to 174mph and has LSD so I am wondering if the cost vs. benefit will be realized considering the current set-up. Any thoughts/feedback/experiences appreciated.

Harrower, you should ring them (Vaeth) up and ask if they want to tune your car and show it @ our board for example (at a good price)
All we know about Vaeth is there SUPERB CF lip and some unproved gossip about the enhancement....
I'm more then sure.. That you.. Being a European guy can make a fantastic deal with them.. They would be so anxious to receive a good reply and attention from our board.
Again just my thoughts...................

I always wanted to do Vath tune but just did not have the money to do it. So if you have the money I think that it will be great.

Do it! The result in my ML63 is brutal! The powerchip flash i had was good bang for the buck but Vath upgrade with headers etc is gives the car an amazing feel. Down low is great but what surprised me is the punch from planting it at 60kmhr+.

Bit scared that the headers + my Mille Miglia exhaust might be too loud for traffic around me as the roar is incredible!
