content: Why not consider the Rigol DS1102E series, which has much more memory? What about Hantek or Owon?Between these two:Tek: Better display, faster update rate, intensity graded persistence ('digital phosphor'), longer memory in dual channel mode, compatible with expensive specialty probes you probably can't afford, faster update rate. Better documentation / support / software.Rigol: Warranty if brand new. Price?
