mjames:
What are the general differences between the different types of Lecroy scopes, i.e., WavePro vs WaveRunner vs WaveSurfer, etc.?

Thanks,m

On LeCroy web site, they have all the info you need, including comparison tables for exactly that.. Shortly, they range differ in capabilities and frequency ranges while keeping similar look and feel...

WaveSurfer are upper midrange scopes with BWs of up to 1GHz, which are usually built on some kind of embedded platform (SOC or x86), and with a more limited set of functionality. These are intended to be flexible general purpose scopes for tasks which don't require extended analysis capabilities.

WaveRunner are lower high-end scopes with BWs up to 4GHz, built on Windows (x86), and with notably expanded capabilities over the WaveSurfer. The WRs are intended as debugging and analysis scopes. There also is an 8 channel variant, which is also sold together with advanced power analysis software as Motor Drive Analyzer (MDA).

WavePros are mid-high-end scopes with BWs up to 8GHz, also built on Windows (x86), with some additional features over the WaveRunner. These scopes are often used for serial data analysis and compliance testing. There also are special application variants for hard disk manufacturing (DDA, Disk Drive Analyzer).

WaveMasters are upper high-end scopes with BWs up to 30GHz, other than that they are similar in functionality to the WavePro. There also are special application variants for comm systems testing (SDA, Signal Data Analyzer).

LabMasters are modular ultra-high-end scope systems with BWs up to 100GHz and up to 80 channels. The functionality is similar to WavePro/WaveMaster.

HDOs are high definition scope models (although other LeCroy scopes are now HD as well) which are positioned between WaveSurfer and WaveRunner.

Everything else below WaveSurfer is just re-badged kit from other brands (Iwatsu in the past, Siglent today).

If there is anything in particular you would like to know happy to help, we own few Lecroy scopes including a Wavepro HD, 8000MDA and a couple of Waveunner runner HD's plus some 6000's

I am trying to find an inexpensive scope with at least 1 GHz bandwidth and ability to do fast waveform averaging. It seems like Wavepro 7000 series would work, but I don't know how fast  is its math averaging function. Would someone be able to test it?
