PLX new product

Is anyone using this? Looking to purchase but would like feedback from someone who is using this.

PLX new product:

Its almost the same size as a Apexi SAFC and this will read EGT, AFR and Knock (3 in 1).



Key Features:

-Accurately measures Air/Fuel Ratio, EGT, and Knock
-Powerful 32 bit integrated processor, RAM, and FLASH technologies
-Integrated 6 Inputs for data logging (2 Speed, 4 Analog)
-Built-in amplifier for audible knock output to speakers or headphones
-Over 80 minutes of onboard memory
-4 analog outputs (User configurable)
-Fully customizable LED warning light or shift light
-High speed USB 2.0 interface
-Large dot matrix display with blue backlight
-100% backwards compatible with M-Series controllers
-Compact dash mountable design (4.75 x 2.25 x 1 inch)
-Sensor soft start circuitry, prolongs o2 sensor life
-Powerful PC analysis software included (PLX Logger Version 2.0+ Free Download)
-Field firmware upgradeable (more features added to R-500 regularly)


Introduction:

The R-500 combines 3 essential parameters (Air/Fuel, EGT, Knock) of internal combustion engine tuning into one! Whether you're on the dyno, track, autocross, street or drag strip, the R-500 can be fully customized to suite your individual application. With intuitive user menus packed with features, merged with powerful PC software, there is virtually nothing that the R-500 can't do.

Called Gruppe-s and they do have them for sale.
What can this do that the M500 can't?
Wouldn't the M500 hooked up to a laptop do all that the R500 can do?

The R500 is state of the art design by PLX, it can monitor your EGT, AFR, Knock, boost...etc and it can datelog for 80mins. The best thing is you can update the firmware for free whenever PLX engineers add more features to the control unit. Also, I talk to the engineers everyday therefore I get real time tech support whenever you guys have any question.

Thanks,
Tom
