Foxwell Nt520 vs Foxwell Schwaben?

In terms of functionality, features, is there a clear winner of these two scan tools?

I always thought they were the same thing, Schwaben simply being ECS version rebranded Foxwell.

Check out this article:

The Schwaben is exactly the same thing as the Foxwell 510. You go to Foxwell to update your Schwaben.

I agree, 510 is probably the same as the Schwaben. But be careful about what else you see on this topic.

There is a pretty recent thread on this here where someone was looking into a group buy of the Schwaben one.
Here it is:
https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...buy-149-a.html

First off, there is a difference between the NT520 and the NT520Pro. The link above is talking about the NT520Pro and calling it the NT520. That would be fine, except that there is such a thing as an NT520, and it is different from the NT520Pro. That link has photos of the NT520Pro, so we can guess that's what he's talking about. And you thought fake news was a problem.

I don't know about the Schwaben, but I will guess that it is a rebranded clone of the Foxwell NT510. Not 520. Not Pro.

I recently got an NT520Pro, and am happy with it. Cheaper than the Schwaben by a lot, I think.

I have the Schwaben. It's exactly the same as the NT510 except the color. The manual that comes with it is the same manual as the NT510 with a cover that says Schwaben.

Has anyone used the GT90 that they sell? It's on sale for $1499 as of now. Was curious if this unit is as capable as say an Autologic.
