Couple things...

That tool seems to be a one trick pony, whereas the Daytona does many things. It's also preloaded on a cheap Android tablet.... No other purchase options.

The cheaper one is all you need if only a tool for the brakes. Twinscan while nice, who the hell needs all of the extra features. I have the Twinscan2 ABS, only because it was all available at the time. I use one small feature for brakes only and none of the rest. Most of us have other tuning devices for the other stuff we need. Jason's tool on the infotechmercenary site works just fine. A bud of mine has one for both J1850 and another for CanBus.  Just pick the correct version.

I bought the TwinTec Twin Scan II ABS for USD 200 and it works well for bleeding the ABS system.  It also can be used as a diagnostic tool.

You're looking at the wrong model.

Given the prices of the cheaper tool or the twin scan, I'll let the dealer do it annually.  I would buy an app if was less than $100 but the prices shown are just not cost effective for a weekend warrior like myself.  I do 99% of the work on my bikes because it is relaxing for me and I have the ability and tools.  When it comes to things that require expensive tools like the items shown, I do a cop out and have someone with the tools do it.  I've been having the abs bled annually even though the moco calls for semi annual and that is probably ok but i've always been one of those folks that, given a choice, would rather have a vehicle that stops properly vs running properly.....
