Wissensvorsprung zu Ihrem Nutzen
Marketing text for a technical company. I can't seem to find a sensible combination of Wissen and Vorsprung that doesn't sound completely stilted.

..advance in knowledge
(Langenscheidt) ..advance in knowledge that you can benefit from
Doesn't really sound stilted to me. (Although Audi, for example, use the line "Vorsprung durch Technik" [in German] in their U.K. advertising ;-)

knowledge lead securing your advantage
or 'knowledge lead to benefit you'
Shouldn't it be 'zu Ihren Nutzen'since its capitalized?
Else, it would have to be' THEIR'
advantage
Vorsprung here is simply 'having a lead' like a 1:0 lead in a football match.
Of course, one could always say "Being ahead in knowledge benefits YOU"
