Hi LScotty, whats it going to be used for?

 

[LukeScotty]

general electrical stuff, the question is, what will the other do that the other one won't ?

 

[MacSparky]

If its for low voltage systems then i would recomend one of the Fluke T5 ranges, very robust, calculates current, voltage resistance and continuity with buzzer, something a long that range, they are a bit pricey but worth it 'imo', if its more towards electronics such as pcb's, motors etc then one of those you listed would probably suffice for the time being.....its like most things really, you do pay more for 'brands'.
