Spent $600 on a Fluke meter setup and wish I'd bought cheaper

I picked up a Fluke 87V with the i410 clamp last month for $600 total. Everybody swears by them but for residential work I honestly don't see the difference from my old Klein that cost $150. The display is a bit sharper but it didn't speed up my trouble calls at all. Anyone else overpay for Fluke and feel like it was wasted money?

The 87V is overkill for residential work unless you're doing VFD stuff or chasing weird harmonics. Sell it on eBay and grab a used 117 for $150 if you want Fluke quality without the waste.
