Meter help needed!

Of the two you list I'd go with the one above (VC97) because it can measure
small currents. I have a Fluke 73 which only has a 10A range. I find that
whenever I need to measure a current (for instance the current through the
fuel pressure regulator on CIS-E) it's below 10mA so the fluke can't pick
it up. Then I have to borrow a Fluke 87 III form work... :-)
