I bought a cheap DMM like that a few years ago to help align my K2. It was perfectly adequate for that purpose, and all the other jobs I've used it for since. Similar to you, I have a more than 30 year old Russian made analogue VOM that would have been fine, except for its higher circuit loading which would result in different readings from those given in the manual.
The arguments put forward for getting a much more expensive professional unit may be valid if you plan on using the thing all the time, but if that were the case you'd probably have one already. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
