Apexi AVC-R is the only one with rpm based boost control.

It is indeed, I have one on both my turbo cars and highly recommend it. The selenoid is included with it.

When i bought my first boost controller Most of the advice from honest people was to stay away from the HKS, Two people i know have HKs boost controllers and the underread a lot when the boost is set over 1bar.
I went for the Blitz SBCid For my first EBC, i was well happy with it and it held boost very well, however.. it wasn't 'pretty' enough for me as the display is quite small and plain..
So.. i sold the Blitz and bought the Apexi AVC-R, nice blue diplay with loads of features included...
It also held boost just as good as the Blitz..

So.. IMHO The Apexi would be my choice as i havent had the Greddy, but i have used the Apexi and was very happy with it..

Looking at this now and very interested in the ApexiAVC-R but what if you want to control over 2 bar as I think that is the limit of both the Apexi and HKS???

I think the Blitz Can control up to 2.5bar IIRC

I met a guy at The pod who had the Greddy on his 200sx, he said that the boost control was good. I will have to find out what controller my friend is setting his skyline up with, that is going to be running 2bar. I know that he was using the Apexi AVC-R before but is not using it for his future set up..

just sold my apexi controllers, v.happy with them, but selling car. boost limit is 3.0 Kg/cm2, which 'roughly' translates to 3bar iirc.

My source in HongKong - About 270 pounds. :-)
The question is if other electronic (Apexi S-AFC) can help me for bigger power or it is only for safe running under higher boost.
Do you need FuelCut Defender? My target is 1,3 - 1,4 on STi 3 wagon
