Maybe not for YOU.

It is not functional replacement for anybody in any way...
Get both datasheets and you will see..

It's functional replacement if all you ever use it for is to measure voltage.

(which is what a lot of these people probably do)

When I used the 87V is for measuring AC, DC voltage. Resistance, Continuity, Capacitance, Frequency, Diode check. I would need a separate current clamp to measure current and I dislike the current clamp accessory because it reads in mV and not A. The wireless current clamp for the 283 is a good one. With FC capability is nice as sometimes I need to close the electrical cabinet and then turn on the power to take reading. It's safer that way. So yeah it would do what I use the 87V for but I don't like that it's too big and 150 hour of battery life with 3AAA is kind of short for me.
It's not for precision work but I don't use the 87V for precision work either.

What if your workplace mandated it for "management" reasons?

(ie. The Fluke salesmen paid them a visit and spread a lot of scary talk about legal liabilities if they don't use a self-checking meter)

You'd get one, right?

I retired now and when I was working I made the choice of meter I want to use (although they paid for it) not management. But as I said it's a good replacement for the 87V but I don't like it too big. I have used the 87V Max for a while and while I do like it I don't like its size.
