About eight years ago I did skip paying much attention at Keysight True-Volt series of DMM.
a) Keysight inflated products pricing beyond measure.
b) Black face-plates they are not my favorite.
The deep secret of Keysight 34465A/34470A DMM, this is a customized design, this designed to include an easy CAL procedure, this eliminating yearly calibration costs.
Possibly this justifying in a way, Keysight's inflated pricing.
As they were knew, that very few customers will require yearly calibration services from them.

In the past two years, Keysight 34465A 6.5 DMM this has externally cloned by a Chinese copycat.
Front DMM mask down to back plate, all identical.
But there is a difference, Chinese copycat this using 100% produced in mainland components.
At March 2025, Keysight 34470A 7.5 DMM this is now cloned too. :P
And I, as a simple observer I do wonder.
Why Keysight - Malaysia, this has not activate any countermeasures against this copycat?
( HDM3075 the first domestically produced 7.5 digit multimeter)

b) Black face-plates they are not my favorite.
This explains of why, FLUKE 8846A this won your vote. ;)
Made in USA, high precision, several Japanese components inside, extremely stable at holding it factory calibration !!
