Default Smarty or Edge Comp

Hi everyone
i want to hear what are your thoughts and opions about the Smarty and Edge Comp. I want to get a chip but i cant make up my mind. My pick up is a daily driver, i dont race just go hot rodding around once and i while and pull a car trailer in the summer with it. i hear the Smarty has the down low rpm power where the Edge is up higher in the rpms. i think my pick up does fine in the higher rpms once the turbo build PSI so i dont know what to do. i want to know what you like and dont like about this chips and what imporvements they do and if they are hard on the VP44 and how will they work with my RV275s? I also dont want to put stack them, i just want one chip.
Sorry for this being so long, just want my qustions answered.
Many thanks for the help

smarty is a good towing tune. good egts too. you dont tap the pump for it. comp has alot more hp though and you tap the pump. smarty would be my pick for towing.

It adds about 65HP. I find it makes for a very driveable truck. For the most part, my edge is off and the Smarty is on fuel economy mode. Still adds good power, but doesn't make for a touchy pedal.

I found I got my best mileage with my comp on 5x5 and keeping my foot out of it. I would go comp you have more room to grow with it if you want more power. you can start off by not tapping pump and it will only add up to 60hp if I remember correctly. Then later on when you want more power tap the pump wire and add up to 120hp
