I am using the DIS-2 to pull timing for now. I have the BTM which is an add on to allow for full timing adjustment on a laptop. I am using this now because it has always been in the car and was used with the DFI when it was there. The plan is to use the E-Manage, but for now getting one part at a time tuned out is more important. My car has a shitload of timing because of the AFX ECU so we are pulling out 10deg to compensate for it. Prior to the AFX ECU we left my timing flat across the board. Stock timing was perfectly adequate. Armond pulled out all timing control in his Avenger for a while there and ran 30psi on the stock ignition. No reason to mess with stock timing unless you just really need to. You will know when you need to. Logging works great.

The biggest reason I like the E-Manage is because it uses its own 3-bar map sensor and additional fuel tables on top of the stock table. It does not have the same issues as the AFC with timing. The only time you are modifying the stock fuel maps is when you are out of boost. Once in boost it swaps to its own map sensor and additonal fuel maps which add fuel in addition to the stock map. It wires directly to the injectors to add more pulsewidth. Make sense? Much smarter and accurate. Works well.
