I think I am not giving it enough revs and expecting it to take off in too high a gear as you suggest, mind you the Laguna tells you when to change up or down. The downshifts always coming way before I would normally.
I have just ordered an EGR valve by-pass from DMGRS. My X types suffered terribly with problems with the EGR. I don't know if you have ever read any of Diesel Bob's articles about different makes of diesel engines but it is well worth a look.

He doesn't have a good thing to say about Ford's 2.0ltr tdci |
I also think that if your diesel is 115 then it's going to feel sluggish next to any of those others you list, the 135 tune is much more driveable.... the 160 is best though as the turbo boost is felt earlier in the rev range. Sounds like the laguna is a 147 so will be way quicker than a 115 (which is carrying an extra 100kg as well). Give it more revs and get the MAF checked. If it's still too slow then get the 160 map on it.
