MotorVac or RC engineerings ultasonic treatment?

Hey guys my runner is getting up there and I want to get some of my MPG back and hopefully performance. I have been doing some searches and so far the crowd seems to be split on which is better. Can I can a few educated opinions or personal experiences on this. The MotorVac is going to cost about $125 and to have RC Engineering's standard clean-flow-balance service is $24.00 - $28.50 per injector X6 equals $171.

I've done the motorvac system on my 1997 at around 96000 miles, and it definitely works. But, I only paid $69, not $125.

Cleaning the injectors just cleans the injectors.

A Motor Vac service cleans everything. The intake valves, the injectors, and cumbustion chamber. You do not have to take anything apart and it will do more to restore the like new engine performance.

So would the perfect treatment be to first do a MotorVac then pull the injectors and have them rebuilt and balanced just in case the MotorVac pushed a bunch of gunk into them?
