Going by "need" based on what you have described, you could get an old analog scope for €50 on your local equivalent to ebay. It might not be a bad choice leaving you with more to spend on other things, like a high voltage differential probe.
But since you stated a budget of €300 that is close to some very nice options at €400. It is not that you _need_ those nice scopes, but like a nice car compared to a very budget car, it is simply much more enjoyable to work with. You get the very latest in user interface with touch screen and user-friendliness.
The €50 used analog scope with two channels might solve the task equally well, but it is heavy and clunky, taking up most of your desk. It might require you learn how to use a special trigger input as a third channel and learn other tricks. Compared to the new generation Siglent and Rigol of which the later can run from an USB battery bank and is very lightweight. Four channels vs two similarly a matter of a very slight price difference, so it might be stupid to forgo the extra channels for the day, where you are stuck needing them.
The €300 options you found just don't have a very good reputation here, as you might have discovered.
Plenty of people swear that the old analogs are the best, and the old computers were build with those. Personally I am all digital, but in my opinion if you won't afford the €400 options, you might as well go all in on getting the job done with the old tech.
