Code scanner for F550

Have a 2012 6.8L/V10 F550, need a code scanner. Something in the $300-400 range.
Suggestions?

yup. forscan on a laptop with a wired obd adapter cord.
another simpler option is torque pro on a smart phone with on obdlinkmx bluetooth adaptor.

I already have the Torque Pro on a smart phone but I was under the impression it's very limited in what it can do, I need to see live data. It had some live data I recall but not very useful like RPMs and temperature, stuff like that. I need readings from all the sensors.

I ordered the hardware piece for the Forscan. Now choosing the software component. Looks like it can be only be installed on one device.
