Dave,
I really liked the review you did on the Rigol DS1000E series and I almost bought one for my home lab, but then I saw an add for a new GW Instek GDS-1102A series and now I'm on the fence. I haven't been able to find any reviews on the Instek 1000A series scopes. The GDS-1102A is in the same price range as the Rigol DS1102E, but it has a 2M pt memory. Anything you can find out on the Instek GDS-1000A series would be very interesting I think. These series of scopes are making equipment for home actually affordable.
