I have used numerous cheap meters (now I am playing with a pen-type meter I got from China for $23). They work, are usually relatively accurate, and have more features than most of us will use. But one thing I've noticed is that they take a longer time to take a measurement than the Fluke 79III that has served me well since time immemorial.
I worked as a mechanic for a while, and the difference between good tools and almost-good tools may be subtle. But when you have a wrench in your hand all day, you understand why the astronomical prices of (for example) Snap-On tools are totally justified. The same goes for meters.

There are a lot of used Flukes on EBay, maybe not the latest model, but for us perfect. That's where I bought mine, the price is right too. VY 73 de Bob DJ0RD/WU5T
