I would go by henries (inductance) that's more of an output reading than Ohm's (resistance).

They are if you got a LCR meter 😁. The trouble is I never remember the readings, I really should write it down and keep a record. 🤔

It should work in situ, I have done it like that before I just say its a ball park figure then. In case the electrics of the guitar do alter it slightly.
My LCR does capacitance as well it has 2 slots to put the legs of caps in. Mine has no com socket.

What I would add is the cap testing reveals some noticeable discrepancies. A lot of caps are nearly on the money but a lot are not I've tested a 0.022 cap and it read 0.029 so I was closer to a 0.033. I check all caps now and do resistance tests on any pots I use as they can vary substantially. I know you probably know this DefJef. The caps have tolerances ie 5%,10%,20% but are not that close a lot of times. Muck like 250k pots being nearly 300k. I know it may sound like overkill but it does make a difference especially if you fitting the stuff to other people guitars. I try to use pots and caps close as possible to whats stated on them for other people guitars.

I can't honestly say which is better DefJef? I'm happy with the one I've got, I don't know why the one you found needs a com port? The one I have you can test caps by probes or using the slots. It easy to use but I can say if its better than the one you found. I expect they do the same things one way or another.😎
