The Instek GDS-2000 seem to offer a lot of scope for the price. Anyone have any experience yet? I came across it searching for scopes of this class that still offer independent (alternate) channel triggering and the GDS-2202a has it.

As I've written elsewhere, I think the Rigol DS2000 is
definitely a better deal than the GW-Instek GDS-2000A
2-channel scopes:
The Rigol has a low-noise front-end with real vertical sensitivity down to 500 µV/div.
The Rigol has 14MB sample memory (56MB optional) and an extra 100MB segment memory standard.
The Rigol has standard triggers: Edge, Pulse, Pattern, Video, Runt, Slope, Setup/Hold, RS232/UART, I²C, SPI
The Rigol has Parallel decoding standard
The Rigol has high resolution mode (12 bits) when timebase >=5 µs/div.
The Rigol has 350MHz 10:1 probes and LAN connection standard.
Now, the GW-Instek GDS-2000A
4-channel version is a different story, and perhaps the best bang-for-buck (at the moment) for 4-channels.
