At home I have what I can afford and then I want the ‘best’ for the money.
And that's what I have.
I certainly don't ‘need’ the SDS7000A, but if I could afford it, I would still buy it.
Because as I said, the best for the money...
Privately, I hardly do anything that requires a high bandwidth, so I could be happy with the SDS3000X HD.
As an old man, I just wish I had a bigger display.
At work we now have projects that require a higher bandwidth, so a 2.5Ghz Lecroy WavePro HD is now on the way.
I would have liked to buy a 7000A for us, but was in the minority, so now a lower bandwidth scope at twice the price.
