One thing he did say is that REVO is a fantastic product and would never say a bad word about them.
This is MY interpretation of the chat with Mark in key points.
APR's willingness to listen to issues (UK specific) and be able to deal with it in MK.
The shear size of what APR has grown to.
The hardware. ie if you want a itg filter you will have to get it through APR/VWR (less stock already held by other tuners) plus other VWR branded products
Basically Mark/Jim feels that its in their customers and their own interests to get 'back in bed with APR'
As for the 'why cant you sell both APR and REVO side by side' well, in my view only and how I interpreted it, is, that part of the deal with APR is that PSI tuning and JBSautodesigns (close to Awesome) would not be able to sell APR produces and software anymore if Awesome dropped REVO. I might have that totally wrong but thats how I saw it.
Right or wrong thats business I guess

So unless I read your interpretation very wrongly, Awsome would only drop REVO if the other 2 companies dropped APR making them (Awsome) the only APR retailer in the area?

Too political for me.... :surprised:
Good luck to APR and Awesome, It was a very good combination in the past and should again. I am sure Jim would not do a huge U-turn without a lot of thought and putting customers first.
At the end of the day it aint about dyno numbers or fastest 1/4mile car... It about happy customers.
If there are any Revo customers left a little high and dry from this switch back, you can always pop to us for continued support, updates and back up for your Revo maps

Awesome says "We have spent the last 12 months partnering Revo Technik, whos products and service have been fantastic" I dont think they have a problem with their software. Saying that, I never had a problem with APR software, I just made slightly more power on REVO's k03 stage 2+ file
