Personally I've got the MI3000 as I was on a budget when I bought it, got very few complaints. There's my review somewhere on here if you search. (my main complaint is that you can't detach the third lead so it's always dangling around and getting in the way.

By the way, use the term "Multifunction Tester" or MFT, not multimeter, or people will think you're talking about a basic £10 volt/ammeter...

One think I like about my MI3000 is it comes in what looks like a lunch bag! Can leave it on the front seat of the car without anyone nicking it!

Metrel are quality!!!! I have used the MI3125 for about a year and cannot grumble. Just one issue is that you sometimes need 3 hands when testing! Have a look at the tip commander, using this you can get away with just 2!
