Which hand held OBD scanner?

I am considering buying another Porsche 996 or 997. In my search, I will be interrogating the ECU regarding hours run, engine over revs, vin number & pending fault codes, etc.
I already have a Durametric to do all this (and more) at home, but I don't want to lug a laptop round car dealerships looking like an aging geek fumbling around trying to check the health of the car(s) and questioning the spiel flowing from the salesman's mouth.
I don't need it to switch off codes or check camshaft deviations, just verify the ECU details on several different vehicles.

Is there a hand held scanner on the market that can give me this info? Just the over revs, hours run etc etc will be adequate to get a good baseline. Hopefully the scanner is available from Amazon or whomever that can send to Australia.
