Hi!

I don't own or have experience with this scope but just read of it; its a much older model; it has many of the features of the 1052E, with 2 major catches.

it only has 4k points memory length per channel; you get 16 kpts in the 1052E, and up to 1 Meg points per channel in single channel long record mode.

It samples at 200MSa/s real time, versus 1Gs/s to 500Ms/s on the 1052E.

Thus, this older model is more prone to aliasing errors with slower time bases.  Also, its really useful only to about 20 MHz [ using the rule Ms/s /10 = frequency response ] compared to the 1052E.  

Given that the 1052E 50 MHz scope costs $400,  this model is workable for a home lab if will cost you $100-200, tops, about half price for half the bandwidth.  I don't think its worth more because Rigol doesn't even give support data on its website.
