My Foxwell was around $175.00 shipped.
I think Durametric is around $350.00 for the enthusiast model and around $750.00 for the professional model.

Durametric: you need a laptop
It is Porsche specific=it only reads Porsche
The enthusiast model is limited to use on Three vin numbers
some info is a little difficult to follow such as the way RPM ranges are laid out for fuel trims

Foxwell:
Standard scanner= no laptop needed
it comes loaded with what ever manufacture specific program you choose
You can add additional manufactures for around $60.00 per manufacture.
Your not limited to how many different Vins you connect to.
You can do the normal scans, live data, freeze frame, graphs etc. on any OBDII compliant system.
You only need manufacture specific programs to access manufacture specific codes or functions.

Screen layouts are of course different between the two.
Durametric is typical computer layout with various folders
Foxwell is typical OBDII scanner layout.
I think Foxwell is a very good buy for the money
Thanks for the useful info . I think I`m gonna get one.
