The software looks surprisingly similar to the Opel Tech for the 'cheapo' Tech2. In fact, it looks like the final version of the Opel Tech software. See:

Now I wonder if it will work with the Cheapo Tech2....

Standard Kit - £490 + Vat. Pro Kit  - £540 + Vat

So not cheap. But cheaper than the proper Tech 2

Much cheaper than a real Tech2, but much less capable as well...

If you're after a cheap fault code reader for pre ODBII/EOBD Omegas, the cheapo tech2 lead is probably still best option.  Unless you live near me of course ;)
