Dinan Stage 2

I have been contemplating the Dinan Stage 2 Performance flash for my 2012 X5 3.5. My main fear is the voiding of the factory warranty after the Dinan software is installed.
Dinan offers a matching BMW factory warranty but there seems to be a lot of finger pointing. In the end the consumer is left with either a voided BMW warranty or BMW is unwilling to pay a Dinan claim.

There are two authorized Dinan centers near me, Habberstad and Greenwich (service center is in Port Chester). I'm leaning towards Greenwich for the upgrade. Has anyone dealt with either franchise? I am interested to hear of your experiences with the installation as well as any followup issues. In addition have there been any issues with relability and or error codes?
Rallye is where I normally service my vehicles and I plan to continue using them after Dinan is installed.
If there are any software updates, I am aware that the Dinan software will be lost. I will need to return to the authorized Dinan center to be reflashed.

Finally for ALL those who have Dinan Stage 2 am I going to be wowed?
