Need Advice Please. Lab Setup

Hi All,
I have AU$800 burning a hole in my pocket and I am trying to decided whether to get a Hantek HDG6202B AWG/FG or Quality Bench Top Multimeter. Alter
I already have a Hanteck DSO4204C which has a built-in AWG, however my multimeter is a $30 FleaBay special. Alternatively should I spread my budget out and look at a cheaper AWG/FG and get a better multimeter?
My main area of interest in electronics is digital control systems and am currently learning Arduino. As my knowledge of both digital control and electronics generally increases I want to move to Atmel and/or similar control systems. My interest in this area is due to my knowledge and experience IT.
All suggestions and advice welcomed and greatly appreciated.

As far as the brand, I really don't know. I have been using 60Mhz for around 15 years for troubleshooting and repairing various things for our IT department and I have never needed more. I'm sure there are many people and situations where you would need it, but it all depends on what you are going to do with it.

What are you missing? Were you already in a situation where a better wavegen or multimeter could have saved you time? Which of them was lacking?

Thanks for the replies.
I did what I should have done in the first place and did some research. I founds Dave's video on setting up an electronics lab and there were some really good tips in there. Also ready the stickies on multimeters and they are a great resource for beginners and the more experienced.
Just want to say thanks to all and especially Dave for making EEVblog Electronics Community Forum such a great resource for all :-+ :-+ :-+

Personally I use a scope a lot more than a waveform generator and I use a multi meter a lot more than I use my scope.
If you’re doing lots of digital stuff that’s small, don’t ignore some of the pc based Digilent
analog discovery.
