Kiriakos-GR , at this rate your family is gonna be bigger than dave's. I can't believe how many meter you own. Are you aiming for an all fluke family?
Sort question , but I can speak for hours as reply ..
I have admit repeatedly that Dave's influence , hooked me up at the Fluke hook ,
with the video review about the 87-5 .
At that time I had an real need to get an reliable True-RMS DMM.
Another " Dave's influence " was the idea that you must have at list two DMM,
so to compare its other against accuracy issues ( very logical idea ).
So the 8050A joined in the party as 87-5 alternative.
The 3+1/4 bench meters , was something like an hidden wish list to me, translating to " I like to have them " but I can live and with out them ( Got them cheaply - my own technical skills helped this eBay opportunity ) , to become an true opportunity , that erases ( from my inner hidden wish list) the need for bench type multimeter s .
The specific analog Metrawatt , has so special characteristics , that its the true "Sex in a box "
.
An multimeter that does not lie - ultimate quality - protections for Industrial environment (active relay on leads ) - RF interference and EMI does not touch it - with some ranges useful also for repairs on bench, and modern electronics ..
( This one was an 100% my choice as selection )
And found Dave and the forum because of it .
The other portables , are old companions to me , I respect them both , their good services are bringing food on my table for years.
And now back in your question , " How this cycle will close " ? ,
it will close with one (very - very) expensive UNI-T with the ability to act as an mini oscilloscope.
There is new UNI-T models hidden currently from the public view , at the Chinese web site ,
even the descriptions about them, are only in Chinese .
I expect UNI-T to release them ( availability ) at this Christmas or Spring .. or in the 2011 anyway.
Personally I am locally, an Top class freelancer repairman , that the need pushed me , so to get involved with so many and different areas ( directions ) as electronics repairs , and so I found useful all my multimeter 's ,
because its one, has an specific task or role in my life as serviceman.
And so, even if I look as an collector , the reality are , that I am not.
