Rhubarb,
that is really my only motivation for getting a tune is b/c after checking my plugs, even my limited plug-reading ability tells me my cylinders are running at different temps.

Gentlemen, I can't believe you are talking about trying to tune your bikes by reading the plugs. That strategy USED to work with carbs, but is entirely useless for fuel injection. Consider this; your PC has 425 fuel adjustment points, plus an equal amount for adjusting the ignition. Add the accelerator pump utility to this and it quickly becomes apparent why that type of "tuning" will not work. How could you possibly decipher from looking at the plugs which of those 225 cells per cylinder is rich or lean. Also consider that todays fuels have oxygenators added to reduce emmissions. If you see any tanning on your plugs at all, chances are that you are extremely rich. But which cell, at which throttle position and which rpm will you adjust? Without an AFR and some way to target the TP and RPM you're just guessing, and could do more harm than good by using broad assumptions and "carb tuning mentality."

Anubisss,
If you are running fine, why fool with it?
Do you really want to spend $600 between the pciii and a tune so you can maybe get 1 more mpg?
