[sdiy] Best scopes for the money, 2020?

[Mike Beauchamp]

Another DS1054Z happy user here.

I had an old school CRT scope when I started, and it was good to learn 
on but haven't looked back since I got this Rigol.

The CRT scope does seem like it will last forever though. I bought it 
very used, shipped halfway across Canada. I used it for a few years and 
then donated to a local Maker Space that used it for a few years before 
they closed down. I've now lent it out to a local young guy that wanted 
to start building guitar amps.
