Diagnostic tool recommendations

Evening lads, I fancy buying a diagnostic tool primarily for a plug in, look see, and ultimately if and when something flags up.
There seems to be a couple that's favoured on here.
1. Mycarly premium
2. OBD 11
I've a Hexcode GS 911 for my BMW HP4 via laptop and that works well, was thinking of something along these lines.
I know the more you spend the more you get with electronics. Can I ask who's got what? Any recommendations would be appreciated..
Cheers
Stu

Cheers for that Mav8. I got an email from Mike West at Gendan earlier. It was quite comprehensive and clearly had taken some time to knock up and send to me. That's what I call support and I haven't bought anything yet..
Think this is the route I'll be going down..

I have both Carista &
VCDS, Carista is great for a quick plug in but
VCDS has far more ability for diag & coding.

Won’t take long to recoup your outlet, I don’t know what Audi charge for a diagnostic check nowadays but I’m guessing at least £75
So 5 trips and you’re done.

Not had a chance to fire anything up yet, impressed with the service so far, well packaged and arrived within 24 hours of ordering.
Looks pretty straightforward. Interface is similar in style to the GS 911 for my bikes..
