A little worrying that someone could have the Revo trial and not bother to get the full version for whatever reason. Months down the line they could have a SEAT warranty dispute and SEAT could see Revo written all over the code.

Yes it is intresting isnt it !!
Again im not sticking up for time trial companys nor slagging them BUT
The dealer will find it VERY hard to detect this changed code.
The tools the dealer use cant read this info format from the ecu.
The full version mapping is a different matter tho IMHO
I can see it because of the tools i use to read the car and the software i use to look at the files.
But saying that this info can be seen in a file with a simple hex editor or even in note pad if the file were to be read by some other means.
Never the less the data is still there and able to be found a long time after the trial has expired.

Seat dealers performing HEX dumps / reading code
Maybe Seat HQ could
Mine couldn't find their Arse with both hands
a good read this thread, some great info put up by Pete
I am now swayed towards a BAS remap, as your not really that far from me
my only concern when it came to choosing a map is i would prefer one that has easily switchable modes (like revo via SPS). i assume this isnt possible with BAs map?

No im very sorry i dont do switches. 
To make a map switchable the only option is totaly NON standard code flashed to the ecu .
And since this thread looks at forms of non standard/factory code the explnation why i wont use it is clear
Give me a shout when your ready for a map m8 .

will do pete, as i say it would be nice but isnt imperitive
it would only be for if i gave it to a garage or let family/females drive it
think ill be looking somewhere between your top two maps as ill have panel,d/v, TIP, all boost hoses samco'd done with exhuast soon to follow
not sure whether to do exhuast before map or after as ive been very patient in terms of mapping and getting other things done first

Story over here is that Seat HQ in the netherlands will be start downing the Hex-data from the car before warranty work is carried out to make sure car hasn't been remapped by anybody other than them. If remapped by a third tuning company then bye bye warranty.
I don't think it will be long until this is the case. Seat and other manufacturers must know that people get their cars remapped and simply don't declare it, so they must be looking into ways of proving this theory. The same applies to insurance companies. It wont be long before HEX software is used across the board. That's a good thing, IMO.
SEAT UK used to send ECU's to AMD to investigate what was up with a car if it'd blown the engine...
I wonder if any AMD remapped ECU's had "failled" engines or if it was just other tuners
