Snap on Ethos vs. Blue Point Microscan Pro

[crnet18]

So I've been looking for an entry level scanner for work and I think the Blue Point Microscan will suit my purposes nicely. I just need something to quickly read codes and view live data and such. The Snap on man says the Blue Point is a waste and that I should be looking at other (more expensive) tools. The Ethos costs 5 times as much but the differences seem to be negligible.

Does anyone have experience with one or both of these scan tools? Or maybe an entirely different recommendation?

i like my ethos but i had to buy it as it was requierd for my tech school program. I got a heavy discount on it but at full price i would much rather buy a cheaper innova one that does enough for most people. If all you do with a scanner is codes and live data you have no need for a ethos.
