Diagnostics Question

I work on 2004-2017 Mercedes and need to buy a new scanner. I would like to know of some recommendations for the best unit I can buy for $3-500.
I will need to be able to diagnose and reset airmatic, injectors, headlights etc. and perform troubleshooting tests.
This scanner could be a standalone or it could just as well use the OBDII plug and a super software program to be run on a MacBook.
Appreciate any feedback on a good technical unit.

Save a little more, and spend $1k on a factory clone [multiplexer and Xentry]... best investment if you drive or work on these cars and will so for years to come.

Thanks
i did a search for Xentry and Multiplexer and there were 30 choices!
What I would appreciate is a specific brand name and model number.
Can you help?
