Softronic ECU flash? Anyone here done it?

Folks

I've just acquired a 2006 Cayman S tiptronic. 

 

From my WRX/STi days, ecu flashing was pretty common... I bought the cable for $150 and downloaded the free software and away I went... pretty easy.

 

It doesn't seem as common with the Porsche community... but I did find out about softronic.

I'm sure lots of you know about it, but do you know anyone that has had 1st hand experience? 

 

The torque curve of the Cayman seems to have quite a dip which I'm assuming is emmissions control in effect, so I'd like to smooth it out. Outright HP is not what I am after.. I'm after torque.

 

The car is great as is, but I know I will have to tinker eventually...

A friend who had a Cayman before had the purchased the softronic tune. He said that there was a noticeable difference in performance. I am waiting for one of their 20% off sales myself before I get one for my 987 Boxster S.
