My advice would be to go for a portable cased version, this makes it very convenient to test stuff away from the bench, something I've found myself doing quite frequently ! Mine is a Zenith, has a normal mains socket on the side, a voltmeter on the top and is rated at 3 amps, never needed any more than that. It is a vintage one, probably 40 years old at least, in a very nice, ventilated cast aluminium case. They don't make them like that anymore, as they say.
