You need at least 4 multimeters?

another vote for some analog meters, too.

I am partial to the classic simpson 260.  not high Z, but just a classic that every EE should own.  when I see one hanging on someone's bench, I know they are fairly good at electronics   (either that, or they're as old as the hills, lol)

I don't want to brag, but I have 16 x Fluke 189 and 2 x Fluke 85V sitting on my bench. (The first lot I picked up at an auction and am sellling on ebay!).

I will probably end up with 2 of each kind. I love the 189 display and it isn't much larger than the 85V.

You can never have too many DMM's.

I got 3 Fluke 87V , 2 Flukev87V EX, 2 Fluke 8846A , 1 Fluke 8845A, 2 Fluke 123, 1 analog, 1 Keetly 2000, 1Fluke 115, pluss annother 5-10 diffrent ones in diffrent suitcases. Have a broken Fluke 123 in the post from ebay... so how many one needis realy a strange queastin, plenty pluss some more!

A good reason to have some analog meters: if you sometimes need a lot of meters, but not often, an analog one will still work on volts/amps ranges without the batteries. So you can store them empty, without having to worry about batteries leaking after a while.

Assuming you can live with their lower input impedance, of course.

For a post picture in show your multimeters 

I see a big business opportunity here. Sell mock multimeters that look great in pictures you take. Will be a hit on Kickstarter.
