I too use a DMM for 90% of my measurements. The 260 comes out when I set amp bias - the low voltage scales allow me to measure the small bias voltages and the needle swing shows me if it is increasing or decreasing. For all other peaking/nulling, I use my RCA WV-98C Senior VoltOhmist VTVM.
When I was in the Navy, the 260 was the go to tool on the flight line - the Fluke and Triplett DMM displays didn't like the cold temps, and the batteries had better be good otherwise no joy. With the 260, even with no batteries, you could still measure voltage! And even with a weak battery, you could get at least an indication of continuity.
Like most tools, each has it's merits.
Cheers,
