Ooo... good eye, Tom. I didn't notice that the non-professional model had that issue.
"The enthusiast version stores the vehicles identification number of car it is attached to into the hardware. This limits to tool to be used on only three(3) cars. Enthusiast versions cannot be upgraded to professional versions."
That is a little... annoying, but I can sort of understand the logic. If you're buying it for club use, $600 is not a bad thing. If you have more than three porsches in your garage that you need to datalog, $600 is not a bad thing--besides you'd probably need all the different connectors anyhow.
In any other case, $250 is a good deal. Generally the cables alone can cost $100+ for even a basic OBD2 datalogger.
