Klein vs. Extech Multimeter?

[shoggoth80]

Hmmm. A better multimeter is something that is one the "to get" list. The decent multimeter thread has me looking at a couple.
I am running a cheapo CenTech currently, and it will be some time before I can even think of dumping money on a nicer Fluke. For general automotive use...I am debating between the Klein MM200 and the Extech EX330. They're a little more than $10 apart, both seem to have the necessary features for automotive work, and both seem to get good reviews.

Between those two, is there one that would get recommended over the other?
I know that it is possible to get different probes too. As someone looking to get into the automotive field... would one of these two cut the mustard for a while? They both seem to have the features needed for most any of the kinds of tests one would do on a car that I know of. They both seem solid within their price points... and if reviews are true, a good value for the price?

This place is an enabler.

I am an HVAC technician. We take our meters on the roof in the rain. None of the guys I work with use Extech. The Klein meters are made by a company called UEI. I have used UEI meters since 1973. They are rugged and take a lot of abuse and keep on working. Fluke is my favorite but UEI is hard to beat for the price and UEI makes the Klein meters.

The klein meter is a good price meter with good quality. I used them before. I feel confident using them in a 15000amp power plant. But given the choice, my flukes are the meters I would use for that kind of work.

I own the mm2000 and the cl2500 and the et200, all Klein products, they seem to be very good for the price range, they are no flukes, we still use our fluke 87v for vfd work, but the klein mm2000 is a very good dvm.

I have seen the mm200, but have not tried it, it looks decent, especially in the price rangeit is in.

The only downfall to the et200 tester I have is there is no 347 or 416 led lite on it, its made more for the american market, then the canadian one
