We do not compete with the two products which you named above, these products are for a very different marketplace than what PT4 aims for. I hope this post will explain why...
You commented on hand strength in the post above, this leads me to assume that you may not have seen our equity simulator and hand range modeling system yet. Modern poker science has accepted that hand selection preflop is relative, not absolute, that is why we created the Hand Range Modeling tool. You will find that we included two hand range models by default. As an example of our reasoning choose a range of 10% in the equity calculator. Now switch between the two models. Notice the difference in weighting? Next try creating a polarized and a depolarized pre-flop range (these ranges will be available for downloading from the Warehouse soon, custom ranges have not been added yet) - the results are night and day different. With PokerTracker 4 we chose to follow the modern thought process on hand weighting as evidenced by our hand range modeling tools, this is the future. Antiquated static charts designed for limit holdem cash games are no longer needed, S&M also advised not playing by the charts, even back then they were fully aware of how fluid and situational poker is, this is also why David Sklansky did not include a starting hand chart in his book No Limit Holdem Theory & Practice co-written by Ed Miller. Great modern players do not choose hands to play based on value, the choose based on how likely they are to stack their opponents or outplay them by taking command of position - this is the model that we chose to follow based on feedback from all the great player consultants who worked with us on the creation of PT4, we stand by this decision proudly knowing that it was the right choice.
With that said, as I explained earlier in this thread you can in fact do this on your own using a combination of custom reports and stats for grouping. That is the beauty of PokerTracker, you are permitted to create your own stats and reports to perform functions that we do not include by default. If you disagree with our developers and massive team of poker consultants, then you are free to blaze your own path - and we will even help you do so (while advising against the path when necessary, but you can always ignore our advice).
All my best....
