So I finally bit the bullet and bought one.
Compared to the readings of an HP 4275A, it's pretty much dead on.
Not sure why I waited so long to buy one, yet, built several ESR meters that just aren't cutting it.
Yup, it seems to be the best bang for the buck for now.
compared it too the UT-612 ?
Yeah, I would say even compared to the UT-612. The DER EE DE-5000 has true four wire measurement available. To me that trumps any of the benefits of the UT-612.

Out of curiosity, what benefits does the UT-612 have considering they use the same chipset? Not to be argumentative, I am legitimately curious.

Actually I don't know of the actual benefits of the UT-612. I only know that it doesn't do 4 wire measurements.
And what about compared to the Tonghui TH2822A? (similar price to a bundled DE5000, 4 wire measurement support and hackable to 100kHz).
(I opened a thread about TH2822A vs DE5000, but nobody replied)
Hmmm, I don't see them as close to the same price. You can get the DER EE DE-5000 with the normal "Kevlin" clips, the Kevlin tweezers, and the the guard lead for around $120 shipped. The TH2822 with a USB cable and the power adapter (no Kelvin probes) is at least $180 shipped.
