No doubt, but at what cost, compared to about £60 for Planet?

It's not how easy to read that counts as they will all do similar things in similar ways. The important bit is to understand what you are seeing and sort out the real problems from any red herrings.
I once explained it like this -
Think of a table lamp at home that is not lighting up, you know it's dark in your room, but not sure why so you plug in PP.
PP says "open circuit in table lamp", now you want to replace table lamp as that's what PP says is faulty. In reality, it could just be unplugged, bulb blown, fuse blown, fault in electric flex, fault in wiring to socket outlet. fuse blown in consumer unit etc:
