I own both of them but even with all the complains of Maxisys, nothing comes close to it, it is very fast, it has the best car coverage of all scanners, it will scan about every module of almost any car. The Verus strength is on domestic vehicles and emissions, it also has the trobleshooter tips which are really handy, and the scope wich is good; but it sucks that its coverage is very limited, mainly in body and security systems. I regret buying the Verus, for the pice of a Verus $10,000, I could have bought a Solus wich is 1/3 of the price, a Pico Scope or a Vantage scope all for about half price of it. Since you already own a scope my advice is to buy the Maxisys and also buy a Snap-on scanner, not the Verus, maybe a Solus, both for around the price of a used Verus. You are going to need both, believe me.
