I looked very closely at the tekins before I hose the Vipers. Basically the tekin only offered a couple things the viper didnt, but the viper offered a ton of things the tekin didnt. These conversation always turn into ford vs chevy. The tekin gen2 is a little better with the increased bec, new hotwire plug and firmware. But they still didnt bother with a nice user interface. The made it out of plastic, where the viper is full aluminum. The switch is still poorly designed. And as of now, they didnt bother to make a mod version, but i hear something is coming sometime in the future. And to top is off, viper still has the best warranty of anyone one else. I would be glad to listen to anyone tell me how the tekin is better in a logical non biased fashion. The vtx10 line from my research is the overall best in the market. I can not comment on the copperhead or vtx8 line. The copperhead is sensorless and that is not really my thing. And the vtx8 wont fit in a tlr22 or b4, which is what I drive.
