Keyword tool that analyzes DA and PA for competitors for a keyword

I am looking for a keyword tool that will factor in the DA and PA of the competition when helping me find keywords.

I have several keyword tools but the one I like most is Niche Finder. NF, however, doesn't allow me to just import a list of keywords and analyze them. It is more of a start to finish tool.
I have Market Samurai, which will do this but it doesn't use Google information so it is always off.
I also have Keyword Extreme, it also allows me to analyze a list of keywords from a .txt file but I cannot figure out a good way to analyze the competition data (ratios of keyword-in-URL, and anchor test link, etc. KX has 4 factors). I just am not smart enough to figure it out.

My keyword research is off right now because Google seems to be ranking on the theme of a website instead of the keyword used for a web page.

What tools are you using to do keyword research? Can you recommend one that will help me? Giving the updates that Google is doing is keyword research as important as it used to be?
Until recently it was critical for me. I can only compete for long tail keywords because my competitors are too powerful.

I think you can understand my problem. Can someone make a recommendation?

    Longtail Pro but you have to click each individual keyword manually to get the KC score (keyword competition), and it includes PA/DA but in many cases the end result (KC) is way off.

    Google bolds keywords that are synonyms when you search in Google but Longtail Pro ignores synonyms completely, even when there is a - between a phrase like:

    "Hair dryer - reviews" instead of " hair dryer reviews"

    It gives you the idea that the keyword has very little competition, simple caused by the - symbol and giving way too much value to page titles overall.

    I had too many instances where a keyword came out as KC 27 which should be damn easy to rank while the Moz Keyword Competition tool gave it a value of 48, which is quite competitive really. Moz was right btw.

    So although they do include PA/DA they give to much weight to other factors that are much less important these days, like title, number of pages indexed, PR and so on.

    So right now I can officially say there's not a single reliable keyword competition checker, you can only use your common sense and if I have to give the winning score it would be the tool from Moz, however they also have their flaws as they give too much value to DA (especially when it concerns DA80+ like all the huge authority sites, which Longtail Pro does as well.

    I hope someone will launch a keyword competition tool some day where it automatically takes cares of synonyms and such (eg the keywords that don't match 100 procent but that show in bold when you do a manual Google search), and where it allows me to adjust the weight of each factor they take into consideration. That would bring a much more reliable view of the true competition. I already requested some changes but their ego's get in the way and basic answers like it's a mix of many factors bla bla bla.

    If you have issue's with the theme of the website, then maybe you should theme your website more, eg stick to one topic, or if you want to go larger silo it properly.
