I'd avoid the knockoff Durametric tools as it essentially takes away from the work they do. Do I wish Durametric wasn't tied to 3 VINs (enthusiast version) and had more functionality like the Ross-Tech VCDS tool (for Volkswagen/Audi)? You bet. However, my Durametric has already paid for itself in data analysis and code clearing.
A basic OBD2 scanner can only handle the MIL/CEL, and related emissions codes. Durametric can also check the other systems in the car as well, including the testing functions and output data. I can say I'm happy with mine.
