[Elecraft] OT: Oscilloscopes

[Howard W. Ashcraft]

I currently considering replacing my existing oscilloscope with an older Tek model.  Two possibilities would be a reconditioned 465b or a 475.  I am acquainted with the 465.  I can't find any discussion of the distinctions between the 465b and the 465 other than a vague statement of "improved electronics" and the differences in panel layout.  Other than bandwidth, the 475 appears to be identical to the 465 and there doesn't appear to be an "improved electronics" b version.  Any opinions on the relative advantages and disadvantages of these scopes would be appreciated.
