Need a new scan tool

I bit the bullet and bought a Snap on Solus Edge a year ago.... was interested in an Autel but besides magazine ads I couldnt find anything on them, couldnt put my hands on one to see what it would do/wouldnt do/ no place around that deals with that brand. so customer support/updates/upgrades? Probably nonexistent.
The scanner I got was one of the "last of that series available", they have since come out with a newer version.... back when I had my "red brick" it was the "shyt" and "would never go out of date/ then I had one of the original Solus scanners, which absolutely cant be updated past 2014..... and the VIN digit for the car's year in the 80s is the same as the 2010s, I tried to look up a 2015 Ford something and it was giving me choices for car model that were out in 1985..... so I sold it and got my money back (I bought that one used, basically got my money back, used that one for a couple years for free) Expensive but I see the Snap on guy every week so if there's is an issue, someone's got me covered..... I use it every day I go to work. Mine is good til 2020, and the machine is bugging me to update it, I'm gonna wait another couple years to do so....when not on sale they want a grand to update this thing.... not gonna happen, or at least not very often. If I see something 2-3 years old with an issue it's going back to teh stealership for warranty anyways.
