Have no idea as I have never had the need to use such a product.
I use to run approximately 30 two stroke outboards ranging in size from 6-25 hp. Typically after two season of commercial use they would start to feel like they where loosing power when ran at 100:1 on Yamaha outboard oil. For grins I started using esso syn blend outboard oil at 50:1 and after two seasons they were still running good.
Doesn't mean much just an observation.
And these motors where ran more than most people ran an outboard in 5 lifetimes.

It will clean very well. That toluene is a strong solvent! Probably really good for ones neurological system when inhaled?

I never drink toluene.
I have used mercury power tune with good results on Lawnboy mowers which are very prone to carbon build up.
My grandpa was a tool and die maker by trade and ran small shop of his own. I remember him washing is hands with toluole which is toluene and xylene. He did this for years in addition to smoking Winston like candy and drinking hard. Ended up dieing of basicly old age

The problem with removing carbon is solvents typical don't work. Solvents work by breaking down oils or fats. Carbon if it's baked on like the crown of a piston has very little oil in it.

Never used the powertune but I used the omc tuner and the omc carbon guard. Both worked well

Yamaha ringfree works good to cleanup and prevent carbon in the stihl 4 mix valve system

Not to point anything out here but you are clearly reading all the postings on this thread and also written at least 2 pages of replies yet you still havent found the time to put forward your reasons?
Honestly I have forgotten. What is it that you would like to know?
Everything you know

Dominator actually isn't too bad and I detest the Amsoil conpany.. I like 2R and have used it alot. I would try K2 as others I trust like it. NOT SURE ON baileys or silkolene. Would not run r50, h1r or 800.
Please more of a break down, this IS the time to be long winded. You have a very strong opinion on this topic, and I believe a lot of people would like to hear why and how you've made your decisions.

We would have a novel. How about narrowing it down to why I like 2R?
This list is a great one for you start on walker!
I haven't ran them all but I'd put 2r, then K2 at the top. Would not run 800, h1r or R50 in saw.
I like 2R because it has a track record in very demanding applications, applications much tougher than a saw, going back to the early 80's. It's available from any Yamaha dealer for between $8 and $12 per quart, which is an excellant value. If your carb tuning is on it burns very clean. I have seen Kt-100 karts ran on it at 16:1 with c-12 and the looked perfect with no discoloration below the rings, no metalic deposits on the crown and no build up in the exhaust port or pipe. It uses toluene as a diluent so you don't have the problem of introducing low octane diluent into a motor where the cause deposits and loss of octane. It also has great protection against rust which most ester oils do not. This is important to me as my saws sometimes sit in a humid climate. It will also withstand more heat and stress than a saw can thow at it and has a long track record doing so yet still burn clean.
