Which entry level scope

It's not fair what we have to pay in the UK we get ripped right off.

But don't you get free healthcare?

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch bandage.

Not free at all, we pay tax on wages 20-40%, then national insurance contributions (health care, pay for unemployed, pension etc) And then 20% VAT tax, and not to mention the Tax of fuel, cigarettes and alcohol!

Still looking for suggestions for a scope, not just tax matters :-)

Actually, one of the questions that I always had is what would be the minimum bandwidth that would be useful for a beginner to start with if they haven't ever used a scope before?  I know I'm going to get "the highest you can afford" which is hardly useful not knowing anything about them.  The lower bandwidth scopes must be used for something because they still make them.  What are they used for?  I've got my eye on the low end Rigol at 100mhz but $400 would probably take me a few years to save up (not kidding).  The fact that every Ebay seller out there seems to think that what they have is gold and adding antique to something increases its value makes me not want to even try there.  Why would I want a 100mhz scope that's not even guaranteed to work for $200 to $400 when I can get one that is guaranteed at $400?
