Smarty J-06 JR. Best programmer for the $? I CAN'T BUY Bully Dog

This has probably been asked 1000 times, but I'm recently back on DTR (where I actually bought my BD triple dog off another member) I need a new programmer for my truck. I've heard Smarty is best under $1k. The Bully Dog was easy to install and use, but I don't trust the brand with my truck any longer. Is the J-06 Smarty Jr. Any good ?what do you recommend ?

Mods:
Goerend Transmission
Goerend billet torque converter/input shaft
K&N drop in
Straight pipe exhaust
Edge Insight CS monitor w/EGT
Nitto ExoGrapplers 285/70 R17

What year is your truck? If '06+ EFI is your best bet.
Used Smarty's are frequently sold on the Dodge forums from guys with '06+.

For the money, the Smarty Jr is hard to bet. It can easily be returned to stock to pass Calif. smog tests. New it cannot be purchased in Calif., but if you are creative you should be able to obtain one. The suggestion to buy a used one is a good idea.
