For what do you need this scope?

I bough a rigol but i found it not good. The rigol is slow when the
time base is long and the a sine wave looks if this is very distorted
(8bit), to my opinion not good for audio.
I compare it with an old Philips/Fluke scope.   If this 25 years old
scope is dead i will buy a classic scope again mayby at ebay
Plobably is a rigol or owon good for digital signals and for simple
checking. For wave form capture i use Tiepie Handyscope HS3

But your requirements (colour and  capture). You will be limited to an
Owon or Rigol, unless you have a lot of money you have to spend.
