Hi Marmad, and everybody else
Based on your great review on the DS2072 and the posts to the EEVblog forum here, I decided to order the DS2072 for myself. Thank you all!

I'll update you as soon as the scope arrives.
The scope arrived today, and here are the different software/hardware versions:
Software version: 00.00.01.00.02
Hardware Version: 1.1.0.0
FPGA version:
SPU: 03.01.02
WPU: 00.06.00
CCU: 12.29.00
MCU 00.05
Serial Number starts with DS2A1432 (2012, week 32)
When I started it up, it showed a remaining 2154 minutes of trial options and I immediately tried to get most out of the option time I have. I am doing I2C analysis, and I am learning to use the record functionality.
The fan is louder than I expected but still OK.
I noticed that when working with I2C decoding, sometimes the decoding stops working (when Power Cycling, or when changing display type from Vector to Dots), but switching "BusStatus" off and on again, solved the problem and it works fine again.
After two fun hours with the DSO, I can make two conclusions:
a) the scope is really fun to work with and
b) for some reason my Basic Micro ARC32 controller seems to always set the first bit to high in each byte read from I2C - I have absolutely no clue why.
ps. I added a screenshot to show an example of I2C decoding
