I.e. You need only mains powered device with big LED digits, isnt it?
You sad about working speed
What do You mean since 8010A is manual range meter?
Thanx

8010A is slow to settle on a reading. Only marginally slower than my U1241C though >:(

This speed depends of input "integral" capasitor at this specific ADC
see 7106 chip appnote
may be some leakage etc

8600A
8000A
8010A
8050A
And just peeking in lower left...
8021A

I'm really happy with my 8600A which I picked up from the same seller as the HP6236B at a hamfest. I wouldn't mind having another, or even an 8800A; it seems stable and accurate, and I can read it from a mile away even in high ambient light. While it might annoy some people, I actually like the loud relay click when it switches ranges; it alerts me that something has changed, even if I'm not looking at the meter.

I was not pointing to something specific, just overall convenience and speed because of general ease of reading the display or not having to switch ranges etc. It clearly depends on a lot of personal preferences.
Active LED display or a decent back light would make the 8010A much more convenient to use.
