To your comment about your tune, that kind of goes back to my point. I've never seen anything other than "It's better" online. I'm not saying it's impossible. I just think that the OTS COBB tunes and OTS MHD tunes are probably a lot closer than people think. I'd love to see someone do some real world contrasting.
OP asked if that was reasonable. Yes it's very reasonable with the right bolt on mod list

OTS tunes are good, much better than OEM software allows but if he wants to maximize the bolt on modifications then a custom is the way to go. And MHD has been producing world record HP numbers on multiple shop cars (Ghassan, Motiv, EMP Tuning, ADE, and DocRace to name a few) - they all run it for the more effective ECU control

"It's better" can be defined by a lot of different parameters; in this case, lower price point for having comparable OTS tunes (by your wording) kind of makes the point of being better then, doesn't it?
