A questiona about two different diagnostic tools

Hey guys!

I have a question I hope someone can answer me. At an online store you can buy Ford diagnostic instrument, there are two different models. One is called the Ford Rotunda VCM IDS, and the other called VCM II For Rotunda V86.
Both instruments can be found on AliExpress's website

I own a 2004 Ford Expy 4x4 EB, and I want to buy a diagnostic toolto to these, but I know which of these is best. Can anyone give me a serious answer, preferably with advantages and disadvantages.

Thank you in advance!
Greetings from Norway

The VCM II is much faster at connecting to the IDS and vehicle plus it can be powered by the USB cable.
