I've looking at this thing (lunch-box sized object with an anlog meter

with a good digital multimeter? Is there any real difference between
the various models I see offered on eBay, besides the color, or colors
of the meter, and the placement of the controls? Thanks in advance.


A good analog meter is useful sometimes, but if you have *neither* at the moment, I'd just get a regular Fluke first. Maybe one of the ones with a built in tach if you think you will be working on automotive stuff a lot.
