Just went through this debate. I wasn't ready to spend 300+ for Durametric. I was on a tight timeline
I had done an intake/throttle body clean. Drove 100 miles to visit my daughter. On the ride home (80 miles from home) a CEL turned on. The car ran great, gas milage was good so I know it was from some type of vacuum leak from the work the day before. I stopped every so often to check.
I needed to make sure codes (P1128, 1130) were related and then be able to clear after the fix.

I ended up buying a $50 reader figuring it can stay in the car and with a data phone I can search for codes if I'm caught away from home

The Durametric would be a good gift from Santa though (If my wife is reading this)
