I don't have a pocket scanner, but I'll add one thing for your consideration:

Their ability to be used on multiple vehicles, in my mind, outweighs the potential inconvenience of having to dig up the exact result of a particular porsche-specific code once or twice.

Further, to my knowledge, SAE is not currently working on any new coding system...so such a unit should have a longer useful life.

Just my take...
