Default Super Chip question

I am looking for a chip for my 06' dodge ram 1500 4.7L. Superchips have two to choose from, Flashpaq and the superchip cortex. Which one would be in my better interest and better for my truck

Pretty much everyone uses the flashpaq. I dont know anyone who uses the cortex but thats not to say there are not a few out there.

They both have the same options and tuning.

The difference is that the cortex can hold tuning for more than one make of vehicle. Also, the cortex comes with a powertrain warranty. However, the warranty does not apply to nonstock vehicles.

Neither tuner can be used on more than one vehicle at a time.

Had them both at one time or another and the only difference tuning wise is that the cortex can be used on several different models while the flashpaq is for one specific model.

I bit the bullet and went with the Cortex seeing I'd be able to tune my vehicle as well as my pops' 08 3500 6.7L CTD Which by the way, was an interesting ride there after
