I definitely agree on the peak atlas DC55. I got it last week and it's a breeze. I was intimidated a bit by Germanium and hated how my multimeter kept giving back different results.
I retested them with the peak and noticed my original measurements were way off.

Had another problem with silicons, tested the trannies and one said: there's a short between red and blue: Straight to the dumpster.
It's not the cheapest, but to see hfe and leakage that fast makes life a lot easier for me.
