It seems remarkably cheap compared to many of the multi function
meters.

It's not that cheap actually, pretty much most of the manufacturers
do a multifunction tester for well under 500GBP.

ok, well cheap compared to the likes of the Robin multi function
boxes, or a pile of separate testers.

Oh, better still ;-)

I was toying with the idea of "upgrading" my collection of standalone
Megger testers to a combined device, since some of my current ones
have some limitations (the continuity/insulation resistance tester
only does low ohms to 0.1 ohm resolution, the RCD tester does not
have a ramp test or the timer duration for testing time delayed
RCDs, and the loop tester does not have a non RCD tripping mode, or
ability to read PSC/PFC directly).

This one intrigues me:

What does the 17th edition introduce that will require tests not
currently supported on existing kit?

Hmm, as I'm about to buy a new multifunction tester in readiness for
the upcoming inevitable 'approvals body of my choice' registration I
suppose I'd better find out if there is actually a difference! I
noticed a while ago a few on eBay were selling stuff for 17th edition
but I put that down to pillocks talking ********.

Currently looking at the Alphatek MI3000.

Looks like you've been re revisited by the re re disease!
