Narrowed my DSO choice to Siglent SDS1202X-E and OWON XDS2102A

I've narrowed my DSO choice down to the Siglent SDS1202X-E and the OWON XDS2102, and now I need forum guidance as to which is better.  Ease of data recording for event capture and playback is important to me.

Any other worthy choices in this price range are welcomed.

Unless the price difference is meaningful, the Siglent SDS1104X-E would probably be a better choice IMO.  OWON is generally considered a step down in quality and support, although I have no personal experience.

SDS1202X-E
Detailed captures like you seek can be made in BIN (binary) file type which are much smaller than the traditional CSV and many times faster to download onto a USB stick for PC analysis.
When you take these to a PC you need the BIN2CSV converter that you also download from the scope to change BIN back CSV….takes seconds.
However BIN cannot be uploaded into the scope but you can save a capture as a Reference file to have on the display to compare subsequent captures to.

From my personal experience, I would avoid anything cheap that doesn't come from Siglent, Rigol or Gwinstek.
