DFL is pretty good. But not as advanced as sediv in all around refurbishing functions. DFL is more of a data recovery tool, like PC3K, rather than a refurbishing workhorse...

DFL/PC-3000/MRT/ etc have HUDGE advantages over SeDiv on the DATA RECOVERY and DATA EXTRACTION field....

Apart from that there is nothing on the refurb field that DFL will do and SeDiv will not be able to do...
Sorry for my ignorance, but i am not completely sure of that... You say that DFL is not focused on refurbishing field, but things i have readed on DFL site about refurbishing i have not seen in any other site, for example:
DFL Hard Drive Refurbishing Suite (
http://www.dolphindatalab.com/product/d ... ing-suite/)
DFL Hard Drive Refurbishing Suite is one very professional hard drive refurbishing equipment including both software and hardware and also necessary cables and adapters, firmware resources and manuals.
DFL Hard Drive Refurbishing Suite is used to repair bad sectors, reset smart, remove password, edit HDD ID, repair firmware failures, etc for either desktop or laptop Seagate, WD, Hitachi/IBM, Samsung, Toshiba/Fujitsu hard drives. With this tool, users can refurbish three hard drives at the same time.

DFL Auto Servo is the latest western digital hard drive refurbishing hardware tool and users who order this tool get hardware, software and Western digital auto repair firmware resources and also three years’ free software upgrade from Dolphin team.
DFL Auto Servo is able to refurbish multiple WD hard drives at the same time automatically by either online or offline, users can refurbish as many drives as possible by offline hdd repair.
With DFL Auto Servo, users don’t need any hdd refurbishing training or special knowledge, users just need simple clicks and input to get the tool repairing the connected WD hdds automatically: detect hdd ID info auto, diagnose hdd auto, cut zones and reduce capacity auto(if necessary), cut heads auto (if necessary), write rom auto, run arco auto, run selftest auto, etc. After the hdd is repaired, users can edit the Model and SN numbers and complete the refurbishing work.
As you can see DFL is also focused on hdd refurbish.
For Seagate they have
DFL-SRP USB3.0 For Seagate. (
http://www.dolphindatalab.com/product/d ... pair-tool/)
DFL-SRP for Seagate is one advanced Seagate hard drive firmware repair tool and it supports old and latest 7200.11,12,14 drives.
DFL support department send me a document with 5 refurbishing solutions for all seagate f3 that honestly i have not seen in Sediv yet or apply to a few models only, like Test zones of different heads; Find out which zones of which heads are damaged; Auto adjust head temperatures, if failed, manually adjust; Scan the hdd and find out which zones are bad and then cut the damaged zones; Tick all the zones of the damaged head to cut; Cut ticked zones; and of course, cutting entire heads.
Also they promise that on next update can cut heads for 7200.14 Grenada series.
I don´t know how fast Sediv will support Grenada and other models for head cut, but unlocking fw for newer encrypted models is very important point to keep in mind too.
What do you think?
