I'd change the last item for this Ash - for an extra tenner you gain dwell and tach functions, duty cycle and a 20A high current range.

Given that most meters of this sort are now made in China and are pretty much generic with simple brand (and maybe case colour) changes, unless i was using it everyday as part of my work i wouldn't bother going for a known brand, not when they're this cheap!

I've got a digital automotive multimeter lurking in my shed that i've had for some 25-30 years now, think it was made by Megger but might be AVO or Fluke but those three are all pretty much the same anyway, probably one of the first digital automotive meters. Cost me a lot when i bought it secondhand and i found the original purchase receipt for £380 + £70 for the leather case!

Shows how much they've come down in price!
