I haven't had an opportunity to look at any Superchips tunes but I had run the 1705 programmer for a while on my 2001.

Observations:

Superchips added power. The accelerator pedal was fairly sensitive but I've run far more sensitive programming. Bill's programming for the Phoenix has a near-stock accelerator pedal feel for the first 1/3 to 1/2 worth of travel and then has a linear set-you-in-the-seat feel. The accelerator pedal feel is a lot better.

As far as the transmission feel goes (if you have an automatic), the shifts are far more precise. Bill's are a little too firm for my liking but they are a definite improvement over the Superchips.
