The HP8600a/HP8601a combo sits in between a more modern and expensive Network Analyser and the older sweep gen/ marker solution but is much more efficient. It's versatility is you can use it as an accurate signal source which can be AM and FM modulated. And than be quickly switched to sweep mode with up to five markers with the flip of a few switches.
I shall purchase a Tiny SA as I would like to explore it.

You can do the same with the TinySA. The sweep is very linear. If you set the start/stop freq say for 10-20MHz and you scope has 10 divisions, it will be 1MHz per division.
Personally, I use the newer HP 8662A which does everything you describe in one device.
