The 27/FM is very common in the US... zillions of them were sold to the military (AN/PSM-45A, ME-528A), and it seems like they are all on the surplus market now.

The 25 is a good meter in general.  Check out Dave's 27 review.  The difference between the 27 and 25 is the relative and min-max buttons which the 25 lacks.  The 25 otherwise is the same meter and inside the case IS the same meter.  Same guts but two buttons are removed for marketing reasons. 

There are actually 5 meters in the family you might consider
The Fluke 8025A, 8025B, 25, 27, 27FM.  There are also different color versions.  Someone from this forum has a great guide posted on ebay covering these things.  Anyway, the meter Dave tested had a very high contrast display.  The older meters do not.  They are so-so at best. 

The 8025A and 25 are the same meter.  The 8025B and 27 are the same meter.  The 27FM has TRMS AC readings.  All have very good accuracy (0.1%).  All have a somewhat slow continuity check.  All are the size of a brick!

$35 for this Fluke 25 seems pretty good (includes leads)

Ended up getting a FLUKE 25.   WOW what a great metre, very smooth and nice.   Huge and substantially built.
I think this will do for all my needs.

Remember, if one Fluke 25 is good, more are better.  Collect the whole set!  8025a, 8025b, 25 and 27 (both in yellow and green, and don't forget the yellow with black decal) as well as the 27/FM!   For extra credit, mix and match to create color combinations Fluke never sold! You can make a yellow 8025a or a  yellow with black decal 27/FM!   Sanity is overrated.  Really.
