Default Need info on throttle controllers

Now that I've installed my F-Sport sway bars, my GS430 needs some BMW-like throttle response to match the very BMW-like ride. I know that Apexi, Blitz, Tom's and Sprint Booster all exist, but my big question is this: Which ones are set-and-forget? I know some of them go back to default every time the car is turned on. I want to put it in a mode and just leave it there.

Sprint-Booster remembers the last setting that was used.

Unsure if a tune exists for your car. But if one does Id recommend spending money on that instead.

Default Pedal Commander

PC also makes a throttle controller with multiple presets which remain the same.

I actually did try a tuned ECU and there were quite a few problems with it and it didn’t feel good. I returned it.
