I have lived at about 7000 ft asl for the last 14 years and never had a 
problem with a multimeter functioning properly. This includes cheap 
Harbor Freight models. an HP or two , a Fluke, an old analog Triplett 
(Simpson?)260, and several rigs with LCD displays.

So that although I suspect that the there is a limit, it is much higher 
than 7000 ft asl, and the 6500 ft asl is an aribitrary limit imposed by 
someone who lives near sea level. Like in Taiwan, Malaysia, or Tijuana. 
I would think that the multimeter that you are considering will do fine 
where you want to use it and you will have no problems.
