A
thousand Megohms? That's a new one for me. What kind of accuracy difference is there between a 10M ohm and 1000M ohm in testing?

As to the rest, I'm guessing that the meters with variable impedence aren't exactly the cheaper ones. I'm also guessing that a meter with 10M ohm impedence is accurate enough for the test in question. Or, have you seen a DMM with less than 10M ohm impedence?
In any case, it's good to have impedence information out where it might help somebody.
