Yes, those two-digit Fluke models produced for the asian market have lots of differences to distinguish them from the pricier models and to save some costs to get to the price point they are actually selling for.
Dave did some teardown of a Fluke 17B+ some videos ago, and basically the design job was done in a good way, no compromis ein safety, but obviously some features of the bigger models are missing.

Question would be, if they are needed in your current application scenario.

Most obvious:
- No TrueRMS  ->If you are doing mostly DC in electronics, quite irrelevant
- accuracy not as good as the bigger models, like 0.5% VDC, and up to 1.5% for other modes
- 4000 counts, better models have 6000 or more

If this is ok for you, a two-digit Fluke DMM will work well and last for some time- after all, its a Fluke ;-)

The 17B+ is one of the best ever performers in joe's "turn the dial 50000 times" test.

tme.eu also carries Brymen meters.  Maybe they have better shipping terms?

Electroplated:
I've had three Amprobe AM-510 meter develop faults within a few months, could have been a bad batch but... 2 stuck on 11nf on capacitor range and one display had missing segments.

I just go for Brymen now, never had an issue with them so far.
