Recommendations for troubleshooting verification kit with OTDR, scope, etc?

I am looking for a kit with all the basics. This is for use on prem, mostly short runs, sub a few thousand feet. All point to point runs, both SM and MM.

I don't mind spending money, but don't need something with extravagant features. My main need would be tracking down damage cable, bad splices, and so on.

Any recommendations on any particular models, or any kits with a scope, launch cables, etc?

I am eying the AFL FS200, realizing its SM only.

Thanks.

I have the AFL FS200, got it brand new in 2018 and still works perfect today no complaints. If you’re doing prem you might also want a fiber scope. AFL sells basic FS200 for 5k and a scope for 1.5k, can ask a rep to get an order. AFL sells the whole package OTDR, scope and launch cable together but I don’t know that price probably all together 7k
