Stage1+ COBB FMIC vs. DPs + Stage2 Sport map

Rookie question but can't really find a straight answer on the forum. Many members here suggest DPs as an early upgrade but looking at Cobb's n55 Map notes upgrading to an FMIC and running their Stage1+ COBB FMIC Sport map would produce better gains over DPs and their Stage2 Sport map. So it seems obvious to me what modification I should make next (FMIC) but why is this not the consensus?

Ahead of the response of "get DPs and come play with the big boys" I live in CA and don't really feel like having another thing to worry about (emissions, fines, etc). All I'm interested in is getting the best performance for my buck and FMIC seems like the way to go.

BTW car is stock beyond BMS intake and catback exhaust.
