Well, I personally work on Very few OBD II and later cars..my focus is 70's/80's/early 90's.. For the amount a DAS would have cost me it would be foolish to spend that kind of $$$ in a tool so infrequently used.
As such, I have to kindly disagree that having this tool pre-determines a shops viability as being a suitable venue for one to bring their Mercedes.
Besides, a tool is only as good as the user..thus based on the aforementioned logic having this tool w/ a 5$ an hour lackey operating it makes that shop more qualified then the enthusiast repair facility that lives/eats/breathes Mercedes.
As an aside, I can't for one think of one tool that I have that I would classify as wallet flushing...all my purchases are thoroughly considered on all levels prior to pulling the trigger.
