^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This.
I use an Actron too, nice features for the money spent. You can certainly spend more, but if the cheaper alternative gets you the same results, why spend more?..........
I have an OTC early scanner for the early GM CCC systems that I paid $400 for back in the 80s. The Actron is a much better unit than the old OTC is. As with everything electronic, as time passes it gets better, and the price comes down.
I like the idea of having a dedicated unit just for doing detective work on an onboard ECM system. I probably wouldn't want to use my smartphone for this application. Probably not going to work as well as a dedicated unit would as far as running tests etc.
