Best handheld dmm, at any price?
Electro Detective:
Eveready Enerjizzers leak any day because they can >:D
FWIW the 87V with it's little 9v battery :( has a diode test voltage that leaves most meters in the dust
7v IIRC
Out of all the meters I've had, almost none of the 9 volt ones leaked,
and any that did was an easy clean up
Just wait till a 189 or 187 goes Leak City, the stuff will eat it's way along the battery connectors and straight to the board
If the board survives, just pray you do too, once you see what the eaten away battery replacement parts cost ::)

Gossen M273C MetraHIT IM XTRA All-In-One Multimeter & Isolationsmessgerät & Wicklungstest & Datalogger
EUR 1.660,00 + TAX

Basic DC accuracy of 0.15%+10? 2% on ohms range? ???
Oh, wait, it's mainly an insulation tester.

It certainly has some impressive measurement specs. :-+
Can also measure AC volts+DC offset simultaneously - nice! (Also min+max of that offset AC waveform)
But, ... 10 ms response time on the continuity test. A lot of people might see that as a deal-breaker. :box:
(Me? I think could live with it)

They actually list it in the "Benchtop multimeters" section on their web site:

DT4282 is probably top quality, but it has no bargraph. :(

I have several 87's series I, III, V - just acquired an 87IV.
I know they were unpopular at introduction, changed to the 189 type, and the 87 re-introduced as the series V, but I do a lot of audio and the AC+DC
and dB functionality is really handy for audio.
Still lights a white LED and reads the diode voltage drop by the way. I found that a bit surprising.
Still getting the feel of it, but so far - I like it!
