Dear Wolfgang - I agree. However my superiors seem to want to spend the money. Good debugging skills and an easy-to-debug architecture matter more. I just didn't want us to spend USD$7500 on something that we could buy for USD$2500 - especially not when the traffic on the list says the BDI2000 is better. But they seem hell-bent on spending the money.

In my experience, this is marketing babble. For the low level stuff ("simple problems"), a good logic analyzer is at least as capable, and for the highlevel ("complicated") problems it doesn't work anyway, and a plain BDM/JTAG debugger plus a little brain and a lot of experience gives beter results.
Just my $ 0.02 - ymmv.
