Yup. Road tunes address all the issues dyno tunes generally leave out. I've had tunes from Ivey and Akuma, and they were not good. Ivey's tune always caused overboosting, even after I brought it to him to fix. Akuma... well, my car was on the verge of blowing up, although I don't know if that could happen considering my car could never go into WOT since it hit a fuel cut because it was running so damn rich (10 afr's and lower at WOT). My Akuma tune also gave me a whopping 350 whp on a FP Black turbo. That's how much I made on the stock turbo. Driving around it felt rough as hell and bucked all over the place at lower RPM's.
Just because a shop has a dyno doesn't mean anything if they give you a 30 minute tune. That's why all the Evo X owners are going to SpeedCircuit now. Amazing tunes and quality service. Yes, the tunes cost significantly more than the basic $350 or so you pay at the other shops, but the results are great.
