This was 4 years ago ...
Some more have been added to the benches since then.
So, don't start with a benchtop DMM, they multiply.

Thats when the need has been superseded and becomes a collection

I have a stack of HP meters 3455, 3456, and 3457. The first two don't have current measurement. But they do have math functions and I have a bench mounted current shunt. The 57 has that awful LCD display, but at least has fresh lab cal. The 55 has a fan. None have diode drop measurement. And worst of all they never all read exactly the same. Kind of like having more than one watch: you never really know what time it is. My handhelds are Fluke 289 and 787. Neither sees much bench use.

1 - A little slow too start up, don't know how it compares to others
2 - Can't do higher current measurements from front jacks, have to use rear which is not convenient.
3 - No continuity beep

You don't have "Cont" in the bottom middle of the menu? It beeps.
