I'm mostly in the same boat. Have a cheapo Rigol (the venerable DS1052E)
which is enough for my extremely minimal level of design/build talent.

I also bought a LeCroy 4-channel/400Mhz scope (9314AM) a bit later because
it had nicer controls than the Rigol and a bigger (though not colour)
screen. Cheap disposal from a university lab. Never got around to buying
more probes though, so I'm still limited to two channels. The LeCroy is
from the early days of digital scopes, and it really shows. Not the
snappiest user interface out there, for sure. Still a lovely old thing to
use, though, and apparently built like a tank.

While contemplating the LeCroy today I found this video which illustrates
some of its neat math capabilities. I don't know how much of this other
digital scopes can do (probably most or all though?) but it was interesting
to this newbie, anyway:
