What do you mean? For electrician that works on 3 phase systems, one with measurements for that would be top.
If you mean best DC specs and longest scale, than BM869S and BM859S are best still...

The lower cost BM786 beats the BM869 on Dc current spec BTW.

If you don't need the temperature scale, how about the 867S?

BM867 has only advantage of dual display screen.
Correct comparison is with older single display 857/859 that have comparable accuracy. BM785/6/9 are more of a refresh of those single display meters. Honestly, 60000 display is good enough (500000 mode is of limited use) and BM78x series have nice features (remembers sound preferences, backlight was improved, has AutoHold, has Diode test mode same as Flukes, flashes light on continuity etc, check datasheet for details) that are supposed to remove some of complaints of traditional Fluke users.
Basicaly, Brymen BM789 series makes Fluke 87V seriously not worth the money they ask for it...

The BM780 series has the same overmolded rubber housing, size and shape as the Fluke 70 series, so it's clearly designed to compete with that. But it also has the electronics capability of the 87V as well.

The BM867S still misses out on AutoHold, EF tester, Beeplit continuity, and is bigger and heavier.
Specmaster:
Not quite true, if you press the REC button on the 867s before taking a measurement, then apply the probes to the DUT, or voltage source, then the meter does indeed record the HIGH value for you, not sure if this a documented feature or not, but it is handy.
