I considered that one before i built mine, it is pretty nice, but was too  
expensive as i had all the parts for the other meter at hand.
I have a milliohm meter already, so i don't miss that (and it would be  
useless for motor-resistance anyway because of the ac signal, which is  
what i need milliohm measured most often).
ESR is only "good" or "bad", so i find the analog meter has plenty of  
resolution and allows quick reading.

I guess both do a similar job.
