I had live for few months with the 87V and now I have the 28II .
There is no comparison... the second it is made as an armed tank.
There is some difficulty, so to convince an student or even and the professional technician,
so to invest some money , and in the external quality of the construction of an multimeter.
Accidents happens, and the electronic devices, its not fail safe when they face water and bumps,
the 28II it is , and this makes it to look and be, the perfect choice.
Most people have an difficulty to realize what they truly need,
misinformation, or the price tag , or their ego, stops them from listening.
The first word that Dave told me , when I got the 87V , was that I got the wrong model,
for the tasks that I do.
And he was right 100% .
Well @alexwhittemore , nothing stops you from getting the most sexy looking DMM,
but if you plan to do all the above that you have describe so far, you need one 28II plus an second DMM,
to be exclusively used for bench work.
By my understating , you are looking for one DMM that does everything,
this ideal device does not exist.
