I have a DL1 and like it a lot. The software has some issues, though. The learning curve is kind of steep and there are some interface things that make certain things more time consuming than they need to be. Open course support isn't the strongest, so if you use it for autocross or hill climb, you have to spend a little extra time to set things up. It looks like they're starting to focus on that, though, so hopefully it will improve soon.

I've been really happy with it.

The Traqmate is great. Does what it says it does. It will improve your times if you study what it tells you about your driving. The best part, and the most important feature, is the software is good and easy to use. For ~1k$ it's a steal.

pm me if you decide to order and want a little bonus.

The STU Vorshlag BMW guys did a very nice write up on the DL-1 equipment they bought and use for testing.

An awesome tool to help you determine the real fast way and not the feels fast way.
