    I wanted to see the internals if after the full index re-builds of all tables things are truly "de-fragmented"

    If you've rebuilt the indexes, then the indexes are about as defragmented as they're going to get. You don't need any tools to see index fragmentation, the index physical stats DMV shows that.
