Any comment on Keysight 34450A continuity?

Here's a random suggestion:

I have one and the internal battery option is very useful for me, pick up and go. Only issue I've had is scpi related, firmware chokes if you send commands too quick. Nicely built unit IMHO.

By coincidence I had the chance to try a 34450A while visiting an electronics lab today. The display is really nice but I find the continuity to act way too slow. So back the the drawing board. :(

Phil1977:
Just out of curiousity, why does it seem to be so crucial to have 5 1/2 digits resolution, bench form factor AND fast continuity beep in one device?
I wouldn't like to change the settings of a complex instrument for some through-the-plug-beeping, so I´m really glad if I have a 5$-Ali-Bo-Ba-Bangsgood device for that.

I absolutely understand it´s annoying if an expensive meter is just not perfect in all aspects. But beside this moral annoyance I really can't understand the problem - can anyone teach me?

nctnico:
I have been thinking about getting two devices as well. But the problem is that I'll have two sets of test leads onto a bench which is already crowded with wires. Somehow test leads get tangled quickly which is annoying. So having least test leads as possible leads to a more efficient workflow.

HighVoltage:
Just to add my experience with the 34450A:
I had it brad new for one day and disliked it so much, I returned it to the dealer right away.
