Guys,
Do I need a true RMS multi-meter?

I have been given the green light at work to replace my cheap multi-meter with a new Fluke. Is there any need for me to buy a true RMS multi-meter? I see them listed in the catalog, but i don't think I need to go with one.

I typically check continuity, 480 volts, sometimes small current and it seems as though a standard multi-meter is all I need. Any advice?

Thanks!!
