Neither, the 87-III was superior, they ruined it with the V by making the current modes default to AC every time.
If like me current measurements are not your thing, this wouldn't be an impairment for the 87V.
The 101 and 189 and the only Flukes worth having.
The 101 is cheap/safe, the 189 just excels.
The 189 is a good meter, although the competition caught up to it. It also does not have the same robustness as the 87V and 179.
IMHO the 101 is way too basic for the price - there are better meters out there for a tad higher price from Brymen, Sanwa, Hioki, etc, but obviously your mileage may vary. Out of the two 101 I got this year, one was returned due to a factory failure and both had bad discoloring on the exposed copper on PCB vias and PCB connections to the input terminals. Both of them were from different lots and different sellers, although none an authorized distributor. Due to this, I personally would never recommend it due to the apparent quality control problems, unless you can buy it from an authorized distributor and really want a Fluke.
