The Einstar Vega goes for $1,799 USD, which is about 2x the price of a standalone iPhone. The scans will be better than anything you can get using a mobile phone (though it's essentially just that?). Lots of videos on YT comparing the Vega and OG Einstar, especially for automobile scanning.

The downsides of the Vega I mostly didn't see mentioned on YT:

- Required an account to use

- Required WIFI to setup (don't need WIFI past that except when updating)

- Required an app to get scan files off it, but will work for your OBJ use case

Battery life has been a few scans. Do the processing later and get the scans up front.
