I feel that you'd just be better off buying a vagcom

I have one of those..>>

It's pretty much a generic scanner and not Audi Specific.
A better choice for a small scanner/code clearer would be the Audi specific Geniuscan 200 talked about here before..(Bout $60)

What are the benefits of VAG-COM over this? More control?

No benefits....(and no substitute)......>>

There is no substitute for a VAG. If you want a portable Code reader that will provide basic diagnostic codes and the ability to clear them this is good. Great to travel with as an adjunct to a VAG COM for serious work..
