0-60 time improvements with Motronic ECU upgrade

Anyone have any times they can reference for the ECU Motronic upgrade (at IPD)? I plan on getting one very, very soon, and look forward to the nearly 50 hp increase in my V70R AWD (will then go as fast as it looks - metallic saffron) but wonder, since it is indeed a hefty car, how much acceleration will increase, particularly on the low end, as I feel there is ample acceleration and power passing at highway speeds - just would like to have a little more (what the heck, a LOT more) oomph from standstill.

Any reports??

Also, why is it that these motronic upgrades for Volvo are so much more expensive than chip upgrades for BMW and Audi, among others?
