Standard ECU vs aftermarket (ec1)

If the cars are standard is the aftermarket ecu worth having over the standard renault one ? I know that it can be accessed easier for tuning etc and has a ew usefull extras and will run say 421 cams better than standard but is it worth it unless your planning on fitting itb's or turbo etc at a later date ?
I have an ec1 but not sure whether to hang onto it or sell on as RS tuning are good with the standard ecu and it would be great with 438's of Freds GT cams so no need for the ec1?

if you already have it and money isn't an issue just keep it? add cams to what you have now = very quick car ;)

Yeah I figured that would be the case,run 421's or 438's ? also could I run the standard tb , but how to get around the idle control as there are no 'stops' to adjust on the butterfly ?

If you've got it already I wouldn't bother selling up. It's a cracking bit of kit and you never know you might want to run more lairy cams / bobs etc later on.

yes there is. I'd resist adjusting it unless you really need to though. Can it not run the standard ICV?
