Based on their post in another thread, it looks like the OP is getting the SDM3055, but of course the query does bring up the point that there rarely, if ever, is a perfect solution.
For specific use cases, I do like the old reliables that were mentioned, like the HPAK 34401A and Keithley 2000-2015-2700, but these have the major flaw where getting Max/Min/Avg specifically requires a lot of button pushing. They are just not friendly for that feature whatsoever, although depending on your proficiency you could still make do.
For future visitors, here are some additional options, with notes:
- 34450A - OLED display is a potential liability
- EDU34450A - information is limited due to it being new, tricky to find at a good price
- Keithley 2110 - small-ish display, continuity function is slow, menu system is not so good, not really a Keithley
- 34460A - will have to get lucky to meet the price point
- 34410A - could be tricky to find at the price point, noisy fan?
- 34405A - decent price and availability, all around good option?
