I agree with Neil on this, Waveteks can be a bargain. But they are MUCH more delicate.
If you can afford it, a Fluke 189 is nearly a lifetime investment.... like my HP calculator. They are TOUGH instruments.
I don't know of any handheld that does 4 wire. Gotta go to a benchtop for that.
BTW, I'm a metrologist, I know of what I speak.
