Yes, I am hoping to finish my long term evaluation of the Durametric Software soon.
I personally see a need for two of the four you mention.
The OBD-2 software is really good for tracing (graphing) O2 sensor performance and looking at real time DME (only) data. It can read (and reset) only DME fault codes. The software is updated every two to three months - and updates are free. As a bonus it also works on my (other car) Mercedes and my wife's Jeep. For $123 it is a no-brainer.
The Durametric Software can read faults in the DME, Alarm, Airbag, ABS, Seat memory, Heating/AC, Tiptronic and more. It can reset those faults in all but the alarm system. It can also read real time data and they are constantly updating it and adding new features. So far the updates are free which is nice with all the added functionality. For the "introductory" price of $197 again this is a great bargain. I don't expect their "introductory price" to last too much longer.
The only tool that can do all (and more) of what these two do is a PST2. Latest prices for used PST2's on eBay are still running well over $3000.
What about mentioning JDSPorsche diagnostic tester?Or the Bosch KTS-301?
either one is less than $3000. Have you looked at these tools? I have the Porsche
911(993) 1995 and I would like your opinion on the two of them. By the way,the
site is "www.jdsporsche.com".

Have a look at Durametric Software.
Durametric is OK for reading and/or clearing emission faults. It lacks the
diagnosis of components on the Porshe to test the part on the car before
removing. The is the true backbone of an diagnostic tool---which
Duramertic lacks. Just my 2cents.
