I cannot really comment on the differences between the ECU w/ an honest opinion because I have never had, nor rode in a car equipped w/ the Mugen ECU. So my comments would only be speculation.
I would suggest doing a search in the archives for this information - as the archives are an abundant source of information on aftermarket products.
I apologize for not being able to give you a more concrete answer - but I do not want to mis-inform you.

The Spoon Sports ECU definately runs a lot more lean than the OEM ECU. The OEM ECU will run around 12:1 A/F until the VTEC transistion and then lean out to around 13:1. But, by 7000 RPM, the OEM ECU will be back to around 12:1 and will continue to get more rich. By 8500 RPM the OEM ECU will be so rich that it will be off the scale (beyond 10:1).
The Spoon Sports ECU will run a pretty consistent 13:1 across the board. It does go a little more lean at the VTEC transistion until 6500 RPM, where it is running around 13.5:1 A/F.
The Spoon Sports ECU is also supposed to have a lower VTEC engagement (5800 RPM) but I could not tell you if this was accurate because 200 RPM is difficult to negotiate. The redline is supposedly 9200 RPM as well but as stated earlier, 200 RPM is difficult to negotiate and realize.
The car definately gets a more aggressive exhaust note due to the fact the car is running in a more lean condition. You also will have to ground out a certain wire (disclosed to buyee) to make the ECU run w/ our Immbolizer system.
Overall ...low-end power is helped out as well as a more linear (less feel from the VTEC transistion) mid-range. The top-end is also improved slightly. This is all versus the OEM ECU.
I hope that answers your questions.
Thanks!

I do not know the answer to the question regarding the use of 91 octane fuel - since I am on the east coast I have only used 93 octane. I'm sure the information could be found if you look through the archives but I personally have no experience in that department.
I ran the ECU for a month w/o any of the Spoon cooling modifications and the car was fine. I eventually did install the Spoon cooling modifications however.
I hope that answers your questions, thanks!
