Some years ago, I was in the same situation..., however, I have to admit, that I
and collect DMMs...
I started with a Fluke 113, 117, 179, 87V, 289 and Agilent U1272A, Keysight U1233A, U1273A and Brymen 829, 867.
The only Fluke with real True RMS AC and (!!!) DC is the 287/289 series. All other only have True RMS as far as AC is concerned. The relative function starts with the 87V, no cheaper Fluke has it, as well as no dual display.
Any DMM has its own advantages and disadvantages, but if I am forced to choose only one, which is affordable, I would take the Brymen 829 or 867 (no temperature => 869 has it).
I don't like the rotary switch and that the backlight doesn't stay on. But you have a dual display showing e.g. AC and DC offset, you have the best fuses in it (the same as in the expensive DMMs), you have the relative function and it is a real True RMS for AC and (!) DC...you even can buy an USB interface to use it with your pc.

The downside: in contrast to the 829, the 867 has no temperature measurement (=> 869 has it, but it is more expensive), but you can choose the one you like...just have a look:

...just my experience...
Edit:I have forgotten to tell the extraordinary and unique function of Brymen (compared to Fluke and Keysight): They keep the setting referring to the last measurement.
For example you measured mA DC the last time, than this is kept, no necessity to press the select button such as with your known Fluke 87V which always starts wich mA AC e.g. and you have to press the yellow button to go to mA DC, which is often forgotten, if you are in a hurry... ;-) This is regarding to any function of the rotary switch, which is really helpful!!!
