Ditched the Fluke 87V for a Brymen 869S after 15 years

I used Fluke meters my whole career but after my last 87V died I grabbed a Brymen 869S for $180 less and it reads more stable on those noisy 787 power supplies. Has anyone else made the switch or am I just lucky so far?

I mean, I still miss the satisfying click of the Fluke rotary knob sometimes.

The Fluke rotary knob feel is nice but it's not worth $180 extra. I've had my 869S for about six months now and the reading stability on variable frequency drives is noticeably better than my old 87V ever was. That Brymen really shines in noisy environments where the Fluke would bounce around a bit. The money I saved bought me a decent set of probes and a spare set of batteries.
