OBD2 Scanner Recommendation

I wanted to check out an autel or launch scanner back when I bought my most recent snap on. But nobody within 50 miles of here had one on the tool truck or on the shelf for me to see touch feel.
And I didn't want to spend that much money blindly sight unseen. I see them in the ads in trade mags like undercar digest and "motor" magazine but never any word on anyplace local to actually check one out.
