The ECU does "tune" itself as you drive and it learns from your driving style, and when the battery is disconnected that is reset. I have the exact same setup and have also experienced slightly "off" performcance after disconnecting my battery. It will feel a little unusual at first, but it will adapt to your driving as it relearns everything. Mine is still a little out of sorts after replacing my battery a few weeks ago, so I'm guessing the process takes a few hundred miles.
Also, with my car I have noticed if I let it idle with the A/C off it idles very low, around 700rpm, and almost feels like it's going to stall out. But with the A/C on it idles more normal, around 1100rpm.

Cold start is obviously loud, but once warmed up it is very quiet idling. It is also consistent - no dips or surges. The issues described by DRE sound odd, and it is unlikely the car has a tune.

Correct, O2 simulators/conditioners are just tricking the ECU so it doesn't throw a CEL and go into limp mode without first gear, it is still on the factory tune.

Is this the silver one on Ebay with like 44k miles for $31K? I'm also in IL. I haven't gone to see it but someone said the maintenance records showed it had a head rebuild in the past.
Also, I work for Experian (Who owns Autocheck) and although the Carfax shows clean, the Autocheck shows 2 accidents in the past:
07/17/2012 CHICAGO, IL
Police Report ACCIDENT REPORTED (Case #:HV387117)
MULTIPLE IMPACT COLLISION
05/30/2013 IL
Police Report LEFT FRONT IMPACT COLLISION
ACCIDENT REPORTED (Case #:HW298700)
I sent them a message via ebay and mentioned how the autocheck showed 2 accidents so how flexible were they on price...and they didn't even bother replying. I'd pass on it.
