It was a good deal, but not great! I've had a saved search for the 27 II, 28 II and 87 V. I missed(out of town)a 27 II that went for 90. shipped. The 28/87's seem to go for a bit over $200. And thats just too much when I have other meter's I like, such as the Brymen 257 & 869. I got this 27 II because of Dave's torture test, and the fact you can pick them up for about half of the 28 II. Since I rarely play with AC, RMS means nothing to me, and temp would never be used either. So the 27 II is a no brainer(for Me).
I'm green. I still don't have a 27-II.
If you haven't already, watch Dave's review of the 28/27-II. (EEVBLOG #64)
