AutoEngenuity vs. Dyno

I am about to buy the AutoEngenuity scan tool and wanted to know if even after I have it, would I still need to get my car Dyno'ed to find out good HP and torque figures. I have never gotten my car Dyno'ed and wanted to do that but I came across the AutoEngenuity tool. Is there a big descrepancy between the two?

Thanks to all who reply.

You can get hp and tq estimates out of the AE tool, but the output is based partially on the data you insert, frontal area, weight and tire size come to mind.

The dyno is certainly more accurate.
