You will love it but it will be rather abit loud...facing that dilemma my self, and with stock muffler it is too quiet :P
I agree Stage 1 is not bad at all and I would recommend it for people who are not into allot of modification and novice drivers 
I know that plenty of yours seem to be very interested only by Stage2 or Stage2+ but for people which does not wish to modify the car the Stage1 is also very interesting and performing.
Below the Dyno for both situations (stock/Stage1). The display was set to the same RPM allowing good comparative results.
For me with the TCM tune, it is very pleasant to drive and in Sport Mode/manual gear it is fantastic on little twisting roads.
Thanks again Tony for this job.

At cold start its obviously louder, but once it warms up you'll get that slight tone at lower rpm.

We have a member that’s currently running both, but I wouldn’t advise it. I feel that with both the re-flash and piggyback theres a lot of stress on the stock turbo and may cause problems eventually. Yes I am aware that even the re-flash alone puts stress on the stock turbo, but this route will decrease that lifespan even more.

to be honest I am waiting eagerly for mods and more power and if it doesn't happen I might end up going for an RCF by next April

Stage 2+ users are recommended to have full bolt ons in order to get the full benefit of the tune and maximum power, but i would say that an upgraded down-pipe is a must. The charge pipe and turbo muffler delete would also be beneficial since they would improve air flow to the intercooler as well.
