I really like the UT61E with it's DB9 RS-232 interface. Reading data from it on my Arduino Mini Mega 2560 -- which sports 4 serial ports (UARTS)

I was thinking about getting another to read two different things at same time; I can get another for $50.. so affordable.
But.. I was wondering is there another meter I should get that would perhaps complement the UT61E better? Like perhaps some features or accuracy (etc) the UT61E might not have?
I've read that the Brymen multimeters can data log with an add on module. Is the add on module USB or DB9? I really like the DB9 interface as it plays well with MCU's which usually don't have ability to be USB host (at least built in). How much is the data logging add on module for Brymen? Is there a EEVBlog Brymen available in the USA?
I wish I knew how to hack my Gwinstek GDM-8251A. It has an RS-232 port but it only sends out TRUE or FALSE (PASS/FAIL) for comparison tests, from what I read from the manual. This Gwinstek has both USB and DB9/DB25 .. all the connectivity is there, they just couldn't be creative enough to send packets of information over serial like the UT61E does -- sigh.
