I have a rigol MSO1104 (1 ghz sampling, 100 mhz analog bandwidth, logic analyzer) I bought after I retired for doing some work out of my house. I remember it being about $1000. It's very nice, I would highly recommend it for a home lab. I also bought an analog discovery 2 to bring to the library where I teach Arduino and Raspberry Pi classes. It's 2 channel, I can't remember the bandwidth, I think 60 mhz analog bandwidth and maybe 500 megasamples/second? Anyway I think I bought the pro bundle, a little less than $300. I think it's a very nice setup for someone to get started, it has lots of really cool features like a network analyzer, minijack input for audio, serial decoders etc. The PC software works good, available on linux. It's small runs off USB power. I know the probes don't have the isolation that a normal commercial scope does, but for a lot of hobby/learning type things it doesn't matter. I like the idea of making your own hardware and learning things from it, but for a beginner in electronics or the occasional user I think the analog discovery is a pretty good value. I was never a big fan of National Instruments when I was working, but I think this is a pretty good product. https://store.digilentinc.com/analog-discovery-2-pro-bundle/ https://store.digilentinc.com/analog-discovery-2-pro-bundle/ (edit) - actually it's 30mhz with the bnc probes.
