AR or Akro for 1290?

I like the Austin Racing GP 3 look--and a header is also coming available in 4 weeks. The total cost plus shipping for AR full system would be about $2100. I would still want to add the SAS removal kit, filter and Akra mapping. Or I can get the Akro "kit" with SAS, mapping and filter from my dealer discounted for about the same $2100 OTD. I will assume both "kits" end up at the 12+ HP mark--or do they? The Akra isn't available till August. AR can is available now and header in 4 weeks.

What would you all do?
I´m waiting for the AR headers to be finished but if I lived in the states I probably would have gone for the acra right now since they are cheaper there than in eu.
But if you can wait I think you should wait to see what AR comes up with .
im looking at the same decision. neo, ar rep, indicates the ar system will be 2 kg lighter than akra system and that power gains with remap will be equivalent. i'm still researching and specifically looking for dyno results for both.

i actually like the looks of the ar gp3 system better. so... if power claims are met, then i will go with ar (weight and looks).
I'd go with AR and did. Support the smaller guys pushing the envelope and doing interesting, radical things, not boring old Akrapovic that robbed us from the prototypes look and sound and then charged us double what the competition does for a similar performing system.
ordered the full akro in feb when i ordered
my bike doesnt void the warranty
however talked to ar about a stinger
