When I got my GTI I was coming from Subarus and I thought it was odd that a platform as established as the GTI didn't have tuning options like the Accessport available to it. When I asked local VW enthusiasts about handheld flashing tools right after I bought my car it was like I was speaking a different language.
I know that APR offers super high quality items, and I intend to purchase a few of them. But I couldn't get over things like fees to transfer the license to a new owner, or the difficulty in acquiring a tune tailored to my specific set of parts.
In general I prefer that vendors treat my transactions with them as a transfer of ownership, as opposed to licensing agreements. APR offers a licensing agreement, while Cobb sells a thing that I can own and sell to another person. So I'll be purchasing an Accessport at some point in the future.
