The MaxiSys Elite has a powerful processor. The MK908P has the same diagnostic software as the Elite. If you can’t afford the Elite and still want diagnostics coding and programming, go for the MK908P.
If you want to do more key coding and don’t need the BMW and Benz onboard programming, then you can look at the IM608 or IM508 with XP400. If you don’t need key coding at a locksmith level but want to program bmw and benz from the tablet then you can get the Elite or MS908S.
If you want to invest in a tool that you are not going to be able to use all of its special functions. We would rather recommend a tool that’s a perfect fit for your needs. The mx808 or ms906BT is a fantastic tool by the way.
