I would say I would just wait for the SP branded unit. I beleive there are a few for sale on RCtech right now.
I bought the hobbywing, and it did work. I would certainly have liked to buy the SP one, however I could not find it anywhere. There are a few posted on the boards but all I can say is good luck.
I do think from what I have read the problem is usually when people try to switch the programing box between programing hobbywing esc's, and SP esc's. The esc's are not the same, and you should be sure which software you are using. I flashed my hobbywing with SP firmware update, and have not had an issue. I also have no intention of using the progammer for anything other than my GT2.0.
Good luck . . .
