    MRT Pros and Cons

    I'm wondering if someone (maybe Brian) who actually owns MRT along with other tools like PC-3000 could give a basic breakdown of the good and bad of MRT compared with other tools. I know it's not as good as PC-3000, but at the price I've considered getting one as just a fallback when both...

Then all of the sudden I get in two, nearly identical models, manufactured the same month, both from HP laptops, that come in on the exact same day.
