I have maintained, repaired, and even designed professional video and audio electronics in TV stations for over 45 years. This has included both analog and digital based equipment. In this I made extensive use of ANALOG scopes which, unlike the popular and inexpensive digital scopes of today, would allow accuracy approaching 1%; 2% was easily doable if you took the trouble to check the calibration first. Make no mistake, digital is great, but an analog scope will show you things that you can only wonder about on a digital one.
As for meters, VOMs, my favorite was and still is the Simpson 260. Yes, it is analog. Sure, there were a few times when I really needed to measure or set a Voltage to 1% or better and, at in at least the last part of that 45+ year career, there were digital meters around to do so on those very rare occasions. But those were DC Voltages and the need for such precision was very, very rare. Most such measurements that I made were just fine at a +/- 3% or even a +/- 5% level. For AC measurements and waveforms it usually was a lot more important to match two or more levels to 1 or 2% rather than have them at some exact value. By using one analog scope over the entire system that level of matching was easily possible.
True RMS? In my whole professional career I only worked at two places which had true RMS meters and I never needed that feature. NEVER!
For amateur and around the home shop use as you describe, I can't even imagine where it would really be needed. Or even be useful. As far as I am concerned, true RMS is a feature that is in search of a purpose. I can think of far more uses for four, five, or more places of accuracy and even those are going to be quite rare.
Please do not take my remarks as being against digital scopes, meters, and other equipment. I have both types in my shop and use both.
You mention wanting a way to check capacitors. There have been a variety of capacitance meters and VOMs with this capability. I have examples of both. But in today's world, I would suggest one of those nifty component testers which are available on the web. I bought one and found it so useful that I immediately purchased a second one for my second electronic bench so I wouldn't have to carry the one back and forth.
They are all over the internet, this is just the first one my quick search found:
https://smile.amazon.com/Mega328-Digital-Transistor-Resistance-Capacitance/dp/B07WT9VVZB/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=electronic+component+tester&qid=1642157822&sr=8-3They will test inductors, capacitors , diodes, dual diodes, transistors, SCRs, and other components. You just plug a two or three wire part component in and push the button. They not only test them, they will even tell you just what the component is. They are remarkable and one of the best bargains on the web. Play with one of these for a while and then decide if you really need a meter that checks capacitors.
PS: I am thinking about getting one of those EEVBolg meters myself, but it is on hold until I can pay off some bills. Probably next year at the earliest.
PS2: Probably a more useful feature in a VOM would be a continuity beeper. That is a simple feature I have used a number of times. It allows some quick checks without pausing each time to look at the meter.
I have developed electronics professionally, and before that for hobby, for two and half decades and never found any use for True RMS functionality.
It was a big buzzword in 1990's.
Note, the frequency range over which it applies is quite limited; see the manual for details. Frequency content exceeding that, and RMS is again calculated incorrectly, and you don't know when, why and how. TrueRMS feature makes a very poor AC instrument a slightly less but still very poor AC instrument. It only has a few edge use cases, you know if you need it.
In electronics, real-world waveforms usually exceed the capability of the true RMS functionality, and often you don't even want RMS, but average for example.
Lo and behold, Digital storage oscillosscope is the device which can give you RMS, average, min, max, integral etc., over any arbitrary period you define, plus visual representation of the exact waveform so you never need to guess whether it is calculated correctly or not, and what's actually going on in the circuit. I use scope and its measurement features all the time. Multimeter AC features see almost no use in my lab, they are mostly used for DC voltage, current, resistance, diode and continuity tests.
But sure, electricians find use for true RMS multimeters on the field, hence the understandable recommendation. Those who play around in lab - completely meaningless feature if you ask me. Use oscillosscope when dealing with nontrivial AC, it's far more powerful. If you need that power "on the field", I'd recommend even a handheld oscillosscope.
