The VC8145 has no uA range.

That you certainly will need for any modern uP project.

Actually it has but it is called 'mA range' that goes down to 1uA resolution.

A low end DMM is pretty much useless. Hint: burden voltage

You'll need a specialist device to measure current going into low power devices in order to measure the current peaks correctly.

Agreed however for something that only wakes occasionally measurements of quiescent consumption are as important as anything else.
If real low that Joulescope would be the way to go.

RAPo:
Is there any way you can try a bench meter for a while?
I have an Owon XDM2041 but guess what: I use my handheld meters more often, just a tad more flexibility.
Did you have a look at Aneng AN999S? Very compact, needs 5.3 inches of depth and gives you music. ;D

You know that is like saying you prefer to use a bicycle because if you'd buy a car, you'd buy a Ferrari sports car (which actually isn't practicle for daily use).  >:D

Not what I said. For the money that about the price of the Brymen meter I would choose the Brymen not a bench meter. So yes I would choose the bicycle rather than a car that cost the same as the bicycle. But typical car price isn't the same as a bicycle nor a a typical bench meter is the same as the handheld meter.
For the money of the Brymen which I assume less than $400 I don't think one can buy an new decent bench meter for that. I don't think the OP meant to get a used one. Yes a Brymen in that price is a very good meter.
