My interest in this thread is that I have a similar problem. A maximum budget of £300 UK with extremely limited space, so much so that a second hand analogue is out of the question. I'd prefer to find a UK supplier with stock rather than rely on international shipments with the associated tax, support and delivery issues.
So for those who have tested other options in this price range; is there any consensus on a reasonable alternative to the Rigol DS1052E?
