Is it your first one? IIRC you have to buy the licence which is in the region of a bout £650 I think, then subsequent maps will be cheaper.
Someone will be able to clarify.

sounds expensive to me. Mapping was around £500-550 for my classic when I got a quote just over a year ago. That was a Tek 3 remap, first time.
They just keep quoting bigger numbers in the hope you pay. Why bother with the rr? Most people agree that the best result comes from being mapped on the road. Chances are your car is going to be like a fair few others, so the mapper can start with a base map and tweak it for you.
Only point of an rr is to get some pretty accurate at the wheels figures to boast about. fly figures are a waste of time imo.

I paid £650 which is the going rate for a Ecutek remap. Mocom use a different system and pass the licence saving on to you. I think Mocom also rolling road it to give you bhp figures which you have to pay extra for with most other mappers.
If the results are the same, it sounds like better value to me!

Think it's around £600-650 + vat, which includes the license, as said earlier. Subsequent maps will only be for time and are circa £200.
There's cheaper (openecu) and more expensive (standalone ECU) options, but the ECUTek seems to do almost everything.

Think I paid about £500 on a group buy on my old wrx and that was probably 3 or 4 years ago so £700 does seem quite expensive.
You've got plenty of choice so shop around, if near London/Herts I can recommend tweenierob at perfect touch. If you're further up north try Paul at Zen Performance or Pat Herborne at Scooby Clinic, all three will do an excellent job

The openECU option is just that, open. Go anywhere and anyone can read what anybody else has done. Some mappers don't like this as it gives away their "secrets".
I am ready to be corrected on the above though, this is just what I have heard as I have not actually gone down either route.

I am not sure on this, but I think you have to go back to the same place. I do believe that with an EcuTek map the map cannot be read by other places. It protects what the mapper has done so other mappers cannot copy it. I don't know if they would make you pay for a new license if you went somewhere else, but they would have to map from scratch (I think)
