I doubt you will get a good enough deal buying the CS/CTS somewhere else to make up for the price difference, so, personally, I'd just buy the unit from PHP in all cases (that's what I did!).
One additional thing, while the tunes among all the units are the same (you're simply getting different "features" with each one), the CS/CTS units will work with any model year truck from 1997 on (they should be supporting 09+ trucks VERY soon). And, they overcome a "reliability" problem on pre-04 trucks that was associated with the OBDII cable.

Yeah you just about nailed it Duskrider.
I was just about to say something similar but was making sure I was correct when Jack came in.
To add to what Jack said. The custom tunes for an Edge programmer from another vendor are $60 each. You will also have to send the monochrome programmer to PHP to be upgraded to a gryphon (for $25) but the CS/CTS do not need to be shipped. Instead Bill will load your tunes onto Edge's Fusion software for $50. Either way it is cheaper to buy everything from PHP even though you dont have to.
