I'm also looking into this. Renntech advertises around a 50-70 whp increase for stage 1 handheld tunes, considering the price it's seems like a reasonable upgrade. From all the research it doesn't seem like there's any obvious downsides. Although I think it would be best to pair it with other upgrades to have a well rounded car. There's also the upgraded turbos, that's another story I guess.
