[sdiy] Oscilloscope on a Budget

[Trevor Cunningham]

I've been looking into buying an oscilloscope as I'm venturing into
territory where I'll need to calibrate oscillators on some MFOS projects.
I've read Ray Wilson's recommendations on a scope, and appreciate his
advice on spending the money on a good scope as an investment. But, I'm
having trouble pulling the trigger on anything more than this OWON scope on
Amazon:

Since I'm really a newb, I was wondering what I could get that will work
just fine on more of a budget. Is LabNation worth a closer look?

or even this one from Parallax:

If being cheap in the short will just cost me money in the long run, please
advise. I'm just looking for a scope that will be reliable with modular
kits. The more money I have to build kits with, the happier I am.

Cheers!
