Must admit I have never quite understood the big attraction with Avos.
Yes OK they are class 1 accuracy, and have a nice big meter movement,
but are they really *that* good to command such a price? Or is there
something they will do (besides keep heavy doors proped open) that I
have missed?


They were simply the UK industry standard.
Although I do have one it rarely gets used - I've got a smaller Taylor for
things where a simple analogue meter might help diagnosis.
