I'm gonna just have breather mods on my 370z.

HFC, K&N drop-ins, post-maf tubes, CNT CBE.

I've been e-tuned before on Uprev with test pipes and it was money well spent only ~$500 for 3-4 diff custom maps through the tuner. After hearing all the good results I'm looking to switch over to an ecutek tune through Seb at Specialty Z

I'm just wondering what difference will I see in an OTS tune vs an E-tune? I'm mostly looking to gain traction control, better throttle response, increase line pressure to the 7AT tranny, drivability, and lastly power. Is the custom tune worth the extra 200 dollars for me? I'm not really looking to squeeze every last HP out of the car just get the best bang for the buck right now (full-time student). Can anyone that has done both comments on it? How much does a new e-tune typically cost once you have the software?
