Your head will be spinning by time you read all of that good luck.
Power vision basic.
Buy it from Fuel moto, better support and double the factory warranty
Power vision is simple effect and can grow to meet any need you have down the road.

As suggested above, many guys moving from the old carb days to more modern electronic ignition systems have trouble grasping the differences.

Far too manufacturers and sales people have taken advantage of the uninformed by marketing all sorts of simple and almost magical devices and products guaranteed to provide "near complete relief of all performance and tuning issues". Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth.

While at first it might seem like a daunting task, the more knowledgeable you become with respect to what tuning is and what certain devices and products do or DON'T do, the better off you'll be.

I would suggest you keep your money in your pocket for now and gain as much knowledge as you can before heading down the modification road. This will almost certainly keep you from spending time, effort, and money needlessly.

Been running a PC-V since 09 and it works good.
It is a piggy back tuner but that has not been an issue once.
Many on here still use it.
