Most "effective" handling mod I have, really felt the difference both in street and track.

I Also have HnR springs and some upper control arms and GMG sways. Didnt update to the 2 setting module as I like having 3 settings and the blinking does not bother me.

Just a few points off the top of me head:
- soft mode is much better adapting to road bumps/man holes, it felt the oem system just dumps the car back down, the tpc module I think braces the car much better which also means the car is more stable.
- Launches are much easier with less noticeable hopping
- Track duty was very good, hard braking is more stable and the body feels stable trailing into a 3rd gear corner. Gives more confidence so keep that in mind if you dont want to meet the traction limits

I really like mine. Makes a big difference and well worth the money. Put one on my Boxster Spyder also.

Many prior threads on this here and elsewhere FWIW. I have the earlier 3-mode box as well and it is absolutely a recommended mod; transformed the car. For many people I think it is enough, especially for "grand touring" and commuting uses. I am actually planning a more comprehensive suspension upgrade (PASM/DSC-compatible coilovers, springs, monoballs, sways, links...) as my usage is almost totally canyon roads now and probably some track events in the future. A custom-tuned DSC box (and custom Cobb ECU tune) will be part of my mod package.

The folks at TPC Racing /DSC are great to work with. The only reason I can think of to NOT do it are if you may go to a non-PASM compatible strut at some point; but even then I bet you could easily resell the DSC.
