The Durametric only costs about $100 in the long run because you can sell it when you're done with two VIN's left on it for about $200. It doesn't make sense to me to buy a risky clone running outdated software for the sake of saving about $50. Especially given the time and money you have already spent repairing your car.
I had one of those clone cables and it was a piece of crap. I bought it thinking it was a real one, and I have since replaced it with a real one.

Not to worry if you let the smoke out of the ECU. Lucas makes a smoke replacement kit, and while its designed for British cars, I've read it works on German cars also.
