It would probably be more interesting to show the widest variety of what's available within that budget.
e.g. highest bandwidth 2-channel, most channels (analogue+digital), most protocol decoding, portable , PC-based, biggest screen etc.

That all comes out in the wash in the spreadsheet.
The BEST title gets the clicks  ;D

Based on the discussion so far, that just seems silly. The use-cases for scopes — and the corresponding value of this or that feature — simply vary too much.

Historically though those "budget" title based videos have been very popular.
No videos regardless of how it's done can be of value to everyone.

You can make such a video for sure! The title of that video is '42'  :-DD

Click bait is here to stay, but I've watched plenty of 10+ year old videos to learn about a product that I can now afford used, so quality content is important.

Price point is a tricky metric, because of the used market or subjective reasons.  I've also just hit the button and blown the budget just because I saw something I really wanted.

Go ahead and make a $1k scope shootout video, but also fill it with demos of scopes above and below the price point so we can be educated on additional concepts/features we may not be focused on.

Some scopes have a feature on paper, but when you enable it the scope slows down drastically, for example.

Other times I don't know if there is a single right answer, for example the debate on glitch detection...

To be clear, this wouldn't be a physical shootout, it would be on a spreadsheet like I did with the 1GHz scope shootout.
