[600MRG] buy MSO scope or not

[Gedas]

Hi Dave. If I were in your shoes I would make a list of some of the 
things I need the new scope to do and then decide. I do not think anyone 
here can give you an answer because we would need to know key 
characteristics of what you need it to do:

do you do analog work or digital or both? What kind of bandwidth does 
the scope need to have? do you look at extremely weak signal where noise 
may be an issue? How many channels do you need? Any special triggering 
capabilities? How about built in decoding & protocol capabilities? How 
about it's sampling capabilities? Storing of waveforms and getting them 
off the scope? Screen size, resolution, etc? portable operation? Delay 
triggering limitations?

Anyway those are just some of the considerations I would take a look at 
and I am sure you can come up with many more.
