Lower bandwidth probes for a higher bandwidth oscilloscope - bad?

Cool. Thanks guys!

Keep in mind you can get a pair of halfway decent 100MHz probes from China for under $15.

Even the branded Siglent PP510 100 MHz probes for just $10 ea have been proved to give suitable accurate waveform representation at 200 MHz where they didn't differ in amplitude by more than a dB.
Probes typically don't roll off the cliff at higher frequencies like scope inputs do.

Guys, didn't realize there were some decent cheap scope probes nowadays... even what tautech suggested with the P6100... Yes my friend owes me but maybe I can play that card later for something else... ;D
What other "value" probes do you guys like?
tautech:
The 100:1 100 MHz P4100 probes are also great value for the money.....~$13 ea.
David Hess:
The 60 MHz probes will work fine on a Tektronix 2445A. Lower frequency oscilloscopes, in this case 150 MHz, are pretty tame so as long as the probe compensation range includes the oscilloscope's input capacitance, they will work fine.
