Bosch DDU vs. MoTeC C12X / C18X: Compare Display Loggers

Bosch's DDU line and MoTeC's C-series are built around different philosophies — Bosch ships each DDU as a fixed display/logger combo with staged upgrades, while MoTeC splits its C-series into a display-first C12X line (logging is an optional upgrade) and a logger-first C18X line (professional-level logging standard). Because the two platforms don't share connectors, upgrade paths, or a common spec sheet, this is a summary comparison of the attributes that actually matter when choosing between them — not a full line-by-line spec dump. Full datasheets are linked from each product.
