If you want more power, its time to get the wallet out and spend big money!

the ESL boards are good you can go mafless with them as well which is a bonus, IMHO i wouldn't bother with the apexi unless you find a cheap one, the going rate is around £450-500 second hand then you need to map it which is another £300, so for that money you can either have ESL fully fitted and mapped with some decent change in your pocket or spend a couple of £££ more and get the simtek fully fitted and mapped, again mafless and can have multiple maps.
