yea I hear you, I bought the Rigol scope and was in the red for two months, my dad declared me mad (and this was before I bought a house or was even looking). But it was worth it, Hr sort of see's my point now that I've hacked it to a model that currently is worth twice what I paid for it and that was before I got a £50 refund from the seller, unfortunately I had to sell my old analogue scope to help pay for it.
