I think you will really enjoy them. I would advise putting a unique identifying label on each on... I marked "A", "B" and "C", respectively on each one of mine. That way, if I was in doubt, I would know which meter gave me which reading.
I found that they work well and generally hold up well, but
they don't like to be stressed to the maximum of their rated power for very long.
I have made a couple of mine permanently non-linear by doing so.
They're good tools, just treat 'em right.
Best,
