BNP is definitely something I don't have - I have HP, Fluke, Bryman, GW Instek, and Siglent equipment. Plus some random no-name stuff like my knockoff logic analyzer and one of those $20 LCR testers. I mainly look for interesting things that I don't already have but could possibly use - I haven't been able to justify something like a spectrum analyzer or even a decent ARB. Or a frequency counter for that matter - but maybe if I found a nice nixie one I'd get it just for that.
We are quite similar when it comes to variety. Most of my gear is HPAK and Power Designs, but I also have some Fluke, Keithley, Brymen (Greenlee), Racal, Tabor, ICS, IET, Rigol, GW Instek, FeelTech, Uni-T and no-name cheapies including the venerable $20 transistor tester and lots of microcontroller boards (Atmega, ESP, etc.).
I have plenty of IDEAS of things I want to build - sometimes I even sit down and start building them instead of playing around with test equipment.
Fantastic. I have more ideas than time, but I guess that's better than the inverse. I need to retire so I can get more things done.

Then I hit a milestone where part of my design is tested and works great and I go back to browsing for more test equipment to buy (not that it's actually needed to complete the project).
Not needed to complete the project, but definitely needed
after completion of the project or before the commencement of the next one.

And to think - 2 years ago I had a Fluke 8012A and a bunch of Harbor Freight cheap meters and a soldering station, that's it.
Ahhh, the good old days.
