Nice thing about lock up is you can run a touch more stall and doesn't have to be as tight. That helps with launch and idle-in-gear feel. With an ECU you can lock up in 3 and 4, and not have any slip below the stall.

For example, if your cruise RPM is like 1800-2200, it's tough to get a converter stall that low, so it will slip. I would set my lockup to like 38-43mph, so around town is great. You can control unlock vs TPS, so when you let off it coasts. And have a mild delay for lockup under say 35% TPS.
