Swapped my old multimeter for a Fluke 87V and it's night and day difference

I spent 3 years using a cheap $40 multimeter from Amazon and thought it was fine. Last month I broke down and bought a Fluke 87V for around $450. The accuracy on resistance readings is way better, and the True RMS function actually works like it should. I was troubleshooting a faulty pitot-static system and the old meter was giving me random jumps. The Fluke locked in steady and I found the bad wire in about 10 minutes. Has anyone else seen a big difference after upgrading their main meter?

Nah, spend $40, learn to work around the junk, you'll be FINE.

Wait $40? That's like three cups of coffee these days.
