With experience, I have learned to link each voltage reading with a condition, eg old (non electric) fence wire resting on the hot wire. That, and a lot of switches keep the home fires burning.
The 5 light testers were short-lived, at least in my hands. If you can swallow the $ difference, you will be well pleased with the higher end testers.
And, if you have a weak short/ground the good wones will tell you which side of the tester the problems is. Takes me no time at all to find problems where it used to take hours sometimes
