Both the units you are considering spec that they tolerate +/-50V inputs (though the trigger level only goes to +/-4V). So they will handle true RS232 levels.
Your scope will probably be fine. Your scope has 2 channels, which is fine for decoding UART/RS232 and I2C (I assume your scope has decoders? I haven't looked to see if they are included or an option with that scope). If you need to look at SPI you might have to think about what you need to look at. You might get by with just the clock and MISO or MOSI depending on what you're looking for. But sometimes you may need to look at all 4 signals.
I have also found that if I need to sift through a lot of data for some reason, it's easier to do with an LA and PC resident software. But a lot of times you can trigger on the packet of interest on the scope so there won't be a need to grovel through data.
Also the one thing that scope will do that the LAs won't is tell you if there is a problem with the signal itself.
I have a knockoff DSLogic Plus and I'm happy with it. But I do use the scope more (but I'm actually a software guy - so even the scope isn't an everyday thing for me).
