tuning. renntech vs Etg vs??

New to MB. Just bought a 14 e550. Always had fast cars and toys, but never foreign. So far so good. Love the car. Soo... Thinking of tuning the car. Done some reading online, but cant find much on w212 cars. Called a few places and got conflicting info about each others tunes. Anyone have any personal experience with a tuned 550 or tuning companies? Etg, renntech, etc
Any info is much appreciated.

Renntech is the gold standard among US tuners. The owner was an engineer at AMG for a long time. Most expensive of the US tuners but has a great reputation.

Congrats - you will love the car. I love how fast it is - with a chip it will be a major rocket.

I just had my car tuned by ETG, and the car performs as if it was reborn a sports car with limitless speed and real seat of the pants throttle
response. Just my $.02

I had my E63 S tuned by AMS and it is well worth the cost, additional torque is intoxicating. I went with AMS partly because of their experience with high power turbo applications and because of good customer reviews from both MB/AMG owners and GTR owners
