Ok, I decided to go and ring a few people about this and find out as much as I could.
In short the reason why Dyno tuning is a good idea is that with a dyno you can tune the engine while putting it under load. This is something you can not do if you do it manually! No two ways about it, you can adjust things as much as you want at idle and still go out riding and find a problem @ 100kph. Also add on my own reasons, such as checking the ECU is functioning as it should and being able to tune the engine through the entire rev range.
So its not a waste of money at all, its something I do and would recommend other do as well for the same reasons. Maybe not as often as I do (Altho really... 10 to 15,000km for a really good tune up on your baby aint that bad... depending how much riding you do I guess ) and Dyno tunes aint that costly at all these days. I think mine was all off 110 or so ??
So all in all, I see your points rocket, but for the money I paid for this bike, the money I have spent modding it and the power I want out of it and the performance, I am more then will to spend that bit extra to make sure my engine is running 100% and not just 100% at idle
