If we the focus on "catching rat" than the color of cat shall become
less important.  IMHO both pickits 2 and Olin's programmer are pretty
good cats.  If Olin's programmer can also ride on pickit 2 software
then it maybe a marriage match-in-heaven.

Lacking is one that can also do parallel devices which is in the same class.
