I'm looking at picking one up off of ebay. I'm eyeing these two auctions:

USED FLUKE 51 Series II
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7516634796&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

or

BRAND NEW UEI DT150
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7512396679&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Would I be better off with one or the other or are both considered pretty good? They are about the same price right now 70USD, but the FLUKE may go higher yet...

Thanks as always for any advice. :)

just be aware that those are single input meters, that dt150 seems a little high for ebay,you should be able to get a dt 200 for that .

I have a 150, and it only display's one temp. But with a single stage that's just right. Just it get's old of changing out the plugs on measuring my cascade's vital temp points.

Just picked up a new DT200 (well got work to pay for it :) ) At the supply house it was 120 new. I needed the duals for when I run DI on cpu and gpu. ;)
BTW gocchin the fluke you would need to pick up another thermocouple since I think thats the surface type where you have to make contact w/ the surface to get a good reading.
