From my experience, the Verus doesn't compare to Bosch to be honest. There is more detailed information on the Bosch unit, and a faster scope and the Verus is about 7.5k compared to the Bosch at 5.5k. The integration of the information system and the diagnostic system is extremely handy.
My advice is buy one high level tool to use as your main diagnostic tool and go on the courses that they offer you if you can. Then buy a second tool from a different manufacturer. This gives you coverage when your main tool won't connect to something (no manufacturer can make 1 tool that connects to everything), or if you have more than 1 vehicle in at once with problems.
