Hello, I'm looking for a new DMM.

I've used the Fluke 117 and the BM235 previously, and I'm looking for a best of both worlds.

I like the Fluke 117 for having separate resistance and continuity dial positions. I use both often, and I like to be able to directly go from off to continuity or off to resistance mode. The BM235 however, since the two modes are shared by one dial position, I need to go from off to resistance then press the mode button to switch to continuity, since its memory feature stores its last used mode.

However, the Fluke 117 series doesn't have a dedicated mA measurement terminal and cannot measure small currents with good resolution.

The Fluke 179 has the 1. separate resistance and continuity mode and 2. dedicated mA terminal mentioned above, but I'm looking for options in the $150-250 range.

Thanks!

(Maybe should have been posted to the Test Equipment section)
