If you don't need to probe HV or more than about 1 KOhm, the probes, (or 
indeed, the whole setup) used in Doug Smiths came up with for balanced 
HF probing looks like a good alternative to"what came with" probes. from 
1994: Balanced Scope Probe Extends High Frequency Measurements,

Tek has good literature on probes; go to 
http://info.tek.com/www-abcs-of-probes-primer.html  (they'll need your 
name, email, location and company -- IIRC, "self" might work) and look 
at page 35.
