What is also great about Fluke products is that you can get just about every 
spare part you could want and can actually get them calibrated if need be.  I 
have a really nice Fluke 87 that I bought used.  It was pretty beat up when I 
got it, but I was able to purchase all the parts I needed to get it working / 
looking just about new.

I think the best value in a quality DMM is a Chinese Fluke.
I am happy with mine (12E+) bought soon after seeing that AvE video.

I have also had good service from a Uni-T

But that has become a little floppy in the lead-sockets, and also has
the weird feature of over-estimating voltages if the internal battery
is low (so, if it is showing a low battery warning, you can't trust
the voltages. They end up doubled, just before it dies). Swapping the
battery is awkward too, you need to dismantle the meter, there isn't a
battery compartment as such.
However, it does have some measurments (capacitance, inductance,
frequency) missing from the Fluke.

Bought a 79 25 years ago and an 85 not too many years ago. Both are still chugging along. Also have had a few other fluke products. KV-divider, differential VM and HV power supply.
