If it were me, I would see how I like it as-is from the factory before thinking about whether to get a chip or not. The past couple of years have the newer six-speed transmission, which gives a noticeable improvement in driving qualities over the previous five (and earlier four) speed transmissions, which had identical and rather widely spaced gear ratios for the upper three gears.
5 star tuning does have a quite good reputation, though I have no personal experience one way or the other with them.
