You didn't mention bandwidth figures, but assuming you are looking for a digital
scope, in
that price range, look at the Rigol DS1052E:
$399, 50Mhz
or the Instek DS-1062A (the A suffix is important):
$415, 60Mhz
I have the Rigol scope and love it, although I ordered it from an Ebay seller
in China, rather than domestically.

Subject: [NEONIXIE-L] First Oscilloscope
I am planning on purchasing my first new oscilloscope since the Heathkit one I
built back in the 70's. I'm looking for recommendations and suggestions. My
price range is somewhere around $500. I was thinking that a color LCD one would
be a good choice.
