Fluke 87V - where should I buy it? Edit: 87V vs 87III, please help, 3rd post.

Hi Friends,

After buying (and hacking) the 1052E which I'm very happy with (before hearing about it I've almost purchased an Agilet 54622 for a higher price), its time to replace my working but barely sufficient 2000counts DMM. I want something that's 20000 counts or more, so the 87V seems to be a great option.

Now its only a question of where I want to purchase it from. I see Amazon has them for about 300$. Any idea if I can get it somewhere else for a better price?

BTW, if you have any other recommendations I'll be more than glad to hear about them. I need a general purpose DMM which I'll use for my builds.

I think someone mentioned an Amazon coupon code to get a discount on the 87V, but can't remember where...

I cant find that coupon (searched both here and on google). If someone remembers where it was, please let me know.

Sorry for the double post.

I've just watched Dave's 87V review once more and this time the last part about getting a used 87III looked even better. These can be had for not much more than 100$ on eBay.com. Sure most of them come with just the meter and some lousy probes but 50$ will set me up with a new holster and some nice probes.

So the question is, what are the main differences between the 87V and the 87III? I've seen some specs but I'm sure some of you who have had a chance to use these meters will know much better.

Thank you.

There is some history here I think:

And there is a good buying guide on ebay somewhere, forget the link.
