If you only had one meter?

My Brymen 869s probably, but I like my Fluke 77 that I have had forever :)

Conductance isn't a good replacement for an HV insulation tester (imagine testing a spark gap) but it actually is useful for looking at leakage on things like capacitors, although it takes a long time and you wouldn't do it routinely.  Of course other less$ meters have the feature too.  I haven't tried looking at capacitor DA by logging, but you can just eyeball the meter for  a few hours and sort of get an idea.  You can get a good idea about how good some types of capacitors really are in this area.  If you compare ceramic disc, silver mica, mylar, polypropylene film and polystyrene this way you can actually see the differences.

- the build quality is perfect: the rotary switch is top, as well as the button design and button feeling when pressing

I have two 287 (which has the same quality rotary switch as the 289) which had the rotary switch broke off. But I won't complain about that because Fluke gave me brand new replacement meters under warranty.

I have one of those.  I was going to say I use it as a barometer, but I suppose it IS a barometer.   If the altimeter indicates that my house is climbing, I know the pressure is decreasing.   If it show my house is descending, I know the pressure is rising.  If the altitude indicates the actual altitude of my house, then I know the "altimeter setting" is the actual pressure.  (I think.)

--- End quote ---

3.1V is enough to light a white LED.

Let me know, when you will succeed in doing so with a Fluke 289:
