Default 883/1200 conversion EFI

Ok, did some searching on this forum and the xl forumsfor info as far as 883/1200 conversion on EFI engines.. I know that because i have an 09, Its no longer an option to have the cylinders bored out.
Questions that I have are 1.) Which kit should i go with? I have found kits in the range from $500 up to $900 from different sellers. How much different are the kits from one to another? The 2 companies I am considering now are NRHS and Hastings

Which leads me to my next question, 2.) If i get a kit now, am I able to go back later if i desire and get different heads for even more performance without re-replacing what i have already done.
Final question (for now) 3.) When i decide to get one of these kits, what fuel management system would you recommend, ie Power commander, vance and hines, SE, etc. I would prefer to be able to do it myself instead of having the dealer download new map.

I currently have rush slip ons, hi flow air cleaner, and x14ied from nightrider. Thank you all for your inputs.

No... You'd have to change the pistons also.

Hastings even states their kit is for use with the 883 heads..
The same would apply to NRHS's kit.

Kit is intended to be used with stock 883cc heads
