Not sure about the models on the links you sent.

Take a look at the Launch CReader for MB too.

Here's a better solution, you can do everything an MB dealer tech can do (Foxwell cannot do all the SAMs and Sensors or diagnotic tests), plus on-line support.
ou need SAS Xentry from Benzninja

Looks good - an update to the older NT530?

The hand scanners will do 90% of what you will need. Check out the Launch CReader too.

Be judicious about jumping into a full STAR system or service, I'm not saying you won't need it one day but the plug in scanners are brilliant for doing all you're likely to need day to day.
