I can understand your concern. Lotus of Denver also reflashed my 2006 before downloading the data. I know, however, that since I had ownership of the car at 6 miles (of which Symbolic Motors drove an additional 20 miles to verify the headlights were aligned at their shop) that the car was broken-in correctly and religiously (though I'm not sure if Symbolic Motors may have ragged on her for the 20 miles, it would be an insignificant amount of even the wildest driving, and I doubt it since Symbolic Motors seems upscale as they sent me champagne and a fruit and chocolate basket next-day-air to congratulate me on my purchase!!!)
If I ever sold the vehicle, one look at the condition, engine note, and driveability, along with all saved paperwork would enamour even the most dubious buyer sans break-in ECU dump print-out. Most people don't even CARE about any of those finite details but the most discriminatory buyer, and your paperwork and honest testament should account for that, as you seem trustworthy.
Because Lotus installs a hint of demand of break-in law, a good percentage do indeed break-in their Loti per-manual. The track broken-in exceptions are quite noticeably weathered, and of instances I've heard, those sounded a bit more rough.
Your Starshield is covered separately under warranty in the manual.
