It looks that Agilent plans to get on the EEV 100$ shootout with their latest DMM line.

Check them out ..  ;)

Not without a mA current range they won't.
They are targeted at the electrical market against Fluke 110 series.

This definitely seems to be competition for the Fluke 110 series, but it does have a mA/uA range.  They are on the same input jack as the volts input.  Odd choice, but there it is.  Lowest range is 60 uA full scale according to the data sheet.

The capacitance measurement is not suitable for electronics use.  The lowest range is 1000 nF full scale.

Well by just thinking positively I have to ask this question.
The specs from the two models of the three, they say 60 micro Amperes to 10A.
And now comes my question.  :)
Is this not enough ?

Nope, check the specs.
There is no mA ranges at all. So it's either 600uA full scale, and then it jumps to 6A, with 1mA resolution, so the ranges don't even overlap!
That means you can't actually read say 700uA - that's insane.
The devil is in the detail.
