I can't speak for the personal version (where you buy a subscription to your car only), but the shop version has pretty decent info on 82 and up Mercedes. Not as good as factory Mercedes manuals, but better than a lot of the other offerings. You can view a demo of ALLData at http://www.alldatapro.com/includes/main.jsp. It has everything that the shop version has, but only for a 93 Ford Ranger 4.0L. As for the Haynes, it leaves a lot to be desired, but the schematics are worth the price of the manual.
Yeah AllData is used by my father in his Transmission and Automotive Shop. I did talk to one guy here locally that said he used the Snap On(Mithcell) program, but said he switched to another program, not AllData, but some company out of New York area. He told me that it was absolutely the best program he'd had to help with his mechanical data, plus office accounting, etc..
