A good quality meter will do 6 meg ohms and should be enough to give you an idea if you have a leak to ground. A decent megger will put 500 vdc on the circuit looking for leaks to ground or neutral.
Maybe to be safe try an arc fault breaker on that circuit and leave your gfi receptacle in play.
Just thinking that if you did have a small shunt to ground or neutral an arc fault breaker may keep your house from burning down.
