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.
