If we neglect the fact of the price difference and
the fact that I am working on voltages below 230V and
did never use temperature measurement with my UT70A,
would you (or others) still go for the UT139C?
If yes, why?

How do you know you will be working on voltages below 230?
The point with a meter is that you measure things with unknown values.
I was checking through television and ethernet cables in my house, had moved the rooms around and one PC/tv wasn't working correctly.
After a bit of headscratching, thought I'd better bell out these leads.
All the ethernet was belling out to televison and PC, and nothing would work properly...arg.
A thought that the TV wire has a long run and could have picked up some noise or damage to the cable and that too should be tested.
Display on the meter flashed!! WTF volts on the TV cable!!!
Turned the meter over to Volts stetting, checked and the meter display flashed again.
Putting it simply, whatever was on that TV aerial wire is more than the max volt capability of a CATIII 1000v Brymen 857s.
I have no equipment and no supplies of such voltage but it is here in my home.
