And I get excited when I buy something inexpensive that does exactly what I need.

I admit it -- I was spoilt in my last job having a Tektronix DSO. Had colour screen, direct readouts for RMS, PP, cursors and so on ... In fact, it was an overkill for the circuits that it was primarily used on (mostly RF on the 27MHz band) However, I believe it aided in speedy repairs. The old golden rule of thumb with CRO's is; it's better to have bandwidth of 5x that of what you expect to measure. A 500MHz CRO isn't suitable for anywhere near 500MHz work unfortunately.
