BAFX OBD2 Scan Tool PowerSaver

After looking at the
BAFX OBD2 BAFX OBD2
Scan Tool and the http://www.scantool.net/scan-tools/smart-phone/obdlink-mx.html, I get that the following is true:

1. The MX has access to and a reporting of Ford-specific PIDs
2. The MX has a powersaver functionality that the BAFX doesn't have.

Questions:
1. For those of you who use the BAFX, do you leave it plugged in or do you pull it out when you park your truck and plug it in when you drive?
2. for those who have the MX, are the Ford-Specific PIDS/Scanning capabilities worth the extra money?

I have the F350, 2006, crew cab, extended bed. 109K miles.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here at FTE the Torque Pro for Android and Dashboss for iOS are the leading OBD smartphone apps.

Forscan is a newer player in the iOS app program and seems promising.

As for anything else I have heard anything.
