Ethanol is a much better fuel power wise, but you spend more money to make that power. It also is a much cleaner fuel. It is extremely corrosive, but this is easy to fix. In reality, most cars shouldn't experience corrosion problems with the fuel system other than perhaps the fuel pump itself.
I've been debating whether or not I should go with the Advanced Dynamics Flex system. I just can't justify the $1200 expense on it.

Ethanol is a much better fuel power wise? You do realize that ehtanol is far less energy dense than gasoline, which contradicts the statement you are making. What ethanol does accomplish is to help raise the octane level of the fuel (because it is harder to start combustion). But this is only a benefit if you cannot secure normal premium gasoline with an octane rating of 91 to 93 without going to an E85 blend, something that just isn't the case for most of us.
