There is an updated version of the foxwell (NT530). If you might use it on a very new car or a Maybach/Nissan/Mitsubishi, I guess the newer version is better.
A link to purchase:
https://www.amazon.com/FOXWELL-NT530-Mercedes-Multi-System-Diagnostic/dp/B07XQGSS48/
Comparison of the recent Foxwell models:
Foxwell NT530 VS Foxwell NT520 VS Foxwell NT510 | Foxwell Support Blog

Get Foxwell 520. Here is link to well priced one (make an offer): Foxwell 520

Not yet... I will dig in this weekend... but either way do EGR delete

but- thinking about adding chip tune as well... just don't know if I want to throw more $$$ in- if this issue isn't SIMPLE EGR clog

Still wondering about nasty smell on 1st start-- is that normal??? It doesn't smell like diesel... more comparable to 1st generation of Cat convertors... any thoughts on strong exhaust smell 1st start? does that seem normal

I'd get car sorted before investing in chip tune.

RE: foxwell 530, those may be chassis specific.
