XHP on a deleted and tuned e70 335D. Is it worth it?

I have heard nothing but good things about Rod Sutphin's trans tunes on the X5D. It will be my next mod after I complete a trans service. People claim it is a night and day difference.
Did you end up trying XHP on it? I'm considering it for the X6m and they share the same trans. Hopefully it'll get it down into to 3.1's for 0-60 and maybe a 11.5 1/4 mile.
I never did it. I treat my X5D more like a truck, which btw will be next next vehicle after this one. I tow with it, have it loaded full of gear, etc. I don't hammer on it that much, when I do It moves ok, I am not sure I would appreciate the tranny tune that much. It is only $350 I think for both xHP and the 'custom' tune. I go back and forth on it. I am at 160k, I flushed the fluid at 120k. It shifts perfect. Not sure I want to mess with it, while I get the argument a tcu tune can help increase the life of the transmission I just find it hard to believe...
That makes sense, X5's make a decent work rig. Plus without the trailer there easy to commute in. The X6M is something my dad loves, did all the main maintenance for him, put downpipes in and a VF engineering stage 2+ tune. I took it out last weekend for some draggy testing. It ran a 11.7 1/4 mile and a 3.4 0-60, which impressed me, it's only losing a bit of time on the 1-2 shift, but I'm not sure if xhp will shift better then factory M tcu software. I tell you the face he made when i first showed him launch control with the tune, made all the work worth it
