[sdiy] DSO recommendation please

[Tom Wiltshire]

Thanks for all the pointers everyone.

I've got a more specific question now. Amongst scopes in my price  
range, some seem to have better displays and less storage memory,  
others smaller displays and bigger memory. The difference can be  
significant. The cheap OWON scopes have 6000 samples memory, whereas  
the cheap Rigol scopes have 1 or 2 million.

Which of these two parameters is the most important in your opinion?  
Presumably the ability to zoom in substantially mitigates against the  
smaller screen.

Thanks,
Tom
