Very entertaining. The best horse race is one in which you have no horse.
Funniest part is those saying "I have no use for such a good scope, it can go to someone else."
What, is this Saints Week or something? You guys actually kicked your Test Equipment Addiction somehow?
Well, for some, the 500MHz Tek may be of great use, but we may already have better than the Rigol. For others, the Tek may be far too much scope, but they could put the Rigol to good use.
Personally, I'm in the former camp. (As I already have a 200MHz Tek MSO2024B as a daily driver, so I'd rather see someone else make use of the Rigol. The TDS754C, on the other hand, I could put to really good use, as my highest bandwidth scope is an analog 400MHz Tek.)
