I'm not sure about this specific engine, but Revo usually makes more aggressive programs.
Which doesn't necessarily equal better, just more aggressive. APR is usually smoother and trouble-free.

Pics coming soon, I had to get them to swap my wheels off the S4 today
and give the DPE's back. Now that the DPE's are back I just have to make sure the spacer fits and put coilovers on. I'm debating on leaving them powder coated flat black or not... kinda want contrast.

*WARNING* Personal Opinion Inside.
I've dealt with APR for the better part of 7 years now, and have run their software on every turbo car I've owned. I've never worked with a better company when it comes to everything from product development to post-purchase support. Everyone there is simply fantastic, which makes my decision that much easier.
On top of that, the technology they have developed is unlike anything else on the market. Yeah yeah, I know Revo has the SPS stuff, but I shouldn't have to carry a box around with me everytime I want to change my programming. With APR, switching programs is a matter of holding a couple of buttons on the cruise stalk.
Worried about nosy dealers? Lock out the program switching capability and no one will know the wiser. I'm not encouraging anyone to commit fraud with their dealer, but it is annoying to get the third degree when you go in for something as simple as an oil change.
Lastly, I *HAVE* tested programming from other companies and no other programs come close to the OEM feel and drivability as APR's programming does. It is butter smooth to drive, and the power curves prove this. I was the first private sector car to have APR 2.0T software on it (My A4), and in 2.5 years I've NEVER ONCE had a single CEL or issues with the car. This can be echoed as far back as my 2 1.8T GTIs and my 2.7T S4.
That said, I really hope APR starts tuning 3.2s... for you guys who have 2.0Ts though, APR is the way to go. I wouldn't even consider another tuning company for 2.0T software. </personal opinion>
