If you're on a budget I would settle for a Metrel MI300 MFT. You can pick up one for around £450 to your door new with calibration certificate, which you would need if you'll be using it for work (or even on any examinations you do at college). Megger is the leading brand (most agree) but are a good 50% dearer. I would gladly have said pick up a second hand one from ebay but because of the risk of it being stolen I don't buy, and don't recommend that you do, any second hand tools. It is a lot of money if all you wanted to do was a little practice! Have a think.
