If you already have ecutek license then you'll save £'s sticking with it, rather than ~£400 for PFC/Commander plus mapping.
Not sure on exact capability of each but from what i gather they are very similar

the PFC with commander gives you an accurate knock display, + various other usefull ecu reads, also allowing in car adjustment of various bits and pieces once you get used to it, It will not pull timing out of the map for various reasons as the standard ecu with ecutek will,. for 400 second hand they are a great bit of kit if your budget allows.

Ecutek will retain knock control rather than knock warning, the commander is a nice monitor.

Apexi boost control is usually fairly good to be honest but dont know details of what turbo your on to give an informed response further.
