You will never regret having a "better than needed meter".   Even at the hobby end of the world a meter is such a basic instrument, that lasts a very long time, the cost isn't as big of a deal as it is with other products.   There are actually some very useful meters in the $50 to $100 range, for a beginner or hobbyist, but I still see benefit in moving up market.

I like to think of myself as being thrifty and cut corners on a lot of stuff for my pursuits.   However I'm pleased with my 786 as it is good product and I manage to support EEVblog a bit with the purchase.   Win Win.

Yeah you pretty much nailed it.  I'm frugal with a lot of things but some tools and toys I like to splurge on if it's going to be high quality and last a long time.  Here is my new "toy"

Hello,
I was about ordering the BM786, but when I saw the price difference with the BM789: I switched to the 789.
Also I use the Z-Low of my U1272A (very slowwww about 1read/s with low resolution, whereas all the other function are super fast with high resolution and I love that), and the "Auto" of my BM257s (full speed and resolution) for big capacitor discharge and other low-Z checking.

So here is my question: why EEVblog meter is not the 789 model ?  :(

And I like the blue thing very much... :-[
J-R:
I also made the same decision and picked up the BM789 for the extra features. 

I think Dave wanted a model number exclusive to him and at a specific price point.  Brymen may have wanted the top model for themselves.
