You will never get the same reading even at the same time on different meters it will always vary from meter to meter and no meter is100% accurate that's why it is better just to stick to one

..... and even on the same meter two readings taken at the same time can yield different results. Very frustrating I know!

To be fair @Janrad49

The 8 on the jazz & 7.7 on the contour are pretty **** close!
