Two things come to mind quickly on this decision. First the Power FC is a good standalone ECU but without purchasing additional software such as Apexi or FC Datalogit, you will find tuning the handheld is a long and frustrating job. Second, you will be locked to the base map that the FC was bought for (B16) and not have access to some of the tables that it uses to control fuel and spark.
Whichever choice you make, we are a Hondata dealer and also have the FC Datalogit software. Just give us a call.
On the tune not holding, I would check into something else. Besides the normal adaptive strategy the tune cannot change on it's own.

Between those 2, S300 hands down. Not a fan of the Power FC as it looks to be way too much of a PITA. S300 has much more control and features for the money, IMHO.
