Default Which EFI tuner?

I have an 08 FXDL, all stock mechanically, with about 1,000 miles on it. I intend to have the dealer install Vance & Hines pipes (Big Shots Staggered Longs) & Stage 1 EFI kit before spring. Dealer is recommending HD's EFI tuner (naturally) @ $459, but I'm wondering about Power Commander or V&H FuelPak. My previous bikes all had carbs. I'm no mechanic & I'm pretty ignorant about high tech so will be relying on dealer if things go wrong. Any suggestions?

Do you plan any additional upgrades later? I have the Screaming Eagle Race Tuner, the only problem is that the dealership has to do the tuning, because of the extensive ways and means to tune the bike. I added the V&H short shot staggerds and a set of power cones along with the high SE air intake. The factory trained tech's got that baby dialed in to perfection. But, you may be able to do the same if your computer abilities are really good and you have an understanding of EFI. I've not heard alot of good things about the V&H fuelpac though.....

Check out nightrider.com as they have a few doo dads to richen up the fuel supply. It looks to be an in line plug and play device, and relatively inexpensive. I would have tried one myself but I wound up with Zippers Thundermax and Autotune which I am very happy with, and it is programmable by the user.
