The VT28 is one of the ones I was looking at, but appears to be identical (apart from colour) to the Metrel MD1160 - not sure if they are part of the same company, or are just both buying some 3rd party part and branding it themselves.Safe isolation – Martindale Electric

I have the VT28, but much prefer the more basic Fluke T110.
T150 is currently top of my list, so good to know it's not worth paying them extra for the bag.The Fluke T150 is a very capable instrument, but why did Fluke make the dedicated bag for it so small you have to fight to get it in, so annoying for something so capable, and then there is the case to the Testo multimeter that the instructions don't fit inside why do manufacturers do this, it can't be just for cash saving, it must be that the designers are not users.
I think my current one that has just died is a rebrand of the Edison, seems like they are sold under several brand names. It did me well for about 5 years and cost well under £50 at the time, so I can't complain I guess.I've got an Edison EET01 and a UNI-T jobbie (jobbie isn't the model, I can't find it at the moment to check which one). I prefer the Edison but again no where to stick the little covers.

The Fluke T150 is looking like a good possible option as it supposedly shows a resistance measurement as well as just the buzzer. Though it annoys me when they don't include a case with the package.
I have used the fluke t5-1000 (sounds like a Terminator designation!) for many years and find it very practical to use. It's great having a direct voltage readout on the LCD screen. It also would work as a voltage indicator even if the battery was dead, but obviously no display on the LCD screen.Any one who uses a Fluke T5 or T6? Wondering whether one of those in addition to a basic voltage indicator may be a better purchase
