Exclamation Deciding Between Dinan and BMS Tuning for C300 W205

Hi guys! Was wondering if any of you guys have experiences with either companies and have tuned their cars. Which one would you recommend and why? Thanks!!
***JUST ADDING THIS NOW, but was wondering how these two compares with the OE Tune, since all I've heard about OE Tune has made me skeptical about the reliability of the HP gains. Let me know.***

There was a sale going on RaceChip's website, and although this company is new in the US, it has a long track record back in Germany. I decided to buy it. Will arrive within this week, and will have it installed by the end of the week. I will keep descriptions of it and first impressions before and after the installation here in this post as a post reply!

Racechip

So, did you install the Racechip and if you did...what are your overall impressions?
Im trying to decide the best way to gain a little bit of performance on my new C300 but I do not wish to reprogram my ECU....Dinan sports tune or RC is my dilema right now.
Thanks
