Getting a scope, Rigol DS1102E same price as: DS1052E?!?!

Hi,

I am going to be picking up a scope, and am looking at getting either a DS1052E or a DS1102E (must have more MHz )

Currently on amazon, it is the same cost to get the DS1102E shipped to Canada, as the DS1052E.

As far as I can tell, they are identical except for the 50MHz difference, so in that case, I maise well go for the 1102.

Is there some other difference that would make the 1052 more useful in some cases? or is the 1102 better in every case?

The 1052e is typically ~ $320.

But, I'm in canada, and it costs $100 to get that one shipped to Canada, so in Canada at least it looks like they are the same price.

But is there any difference between them other then the Mhz difference?  I cant find any, but I could be missing something.

You are much better off going with the DS1074Z, plus you can easily use hack and get it to 100MHz and all the options .
