We are all different, aparently....

The cheapest scope has cancel options for Autoset and Default Setup
Imo the best solution.  ;)

Yes if that works for you.. Default I press only very deliberately, and Auto only by mistake. In which case I don't even want to wait for it to finish to press Undo... IMO.

Autoset takes 3 to 4 seconds and Default Setup works immediately.
I have no problem with this.
The important thing is that if you accidentally press the button, you can immediately restore the previous status.

You don't, I do. As far as I'm concerned, both Default and Autoset are buttons that I would like were used for something useful instead. On Siglent you can Default from menu anyways. Auto I don't need at all.
If in doubt, I can quickly set Auto triggering (or force if needed), set channel offset to zero and V/div large to get signal on screen. Press Trigger level for auto (it has that on Trigger) and twiddle timebase..

I never need Auto. I don't remember when I used it myself. Last time I did was to verify bug with Auto, long time ago. But never used it in work. I simply don't need it.

That probably depends on the scope.
You need to know what Autoset does so that you can decide whether it makes sense.
With my scope, Autoset changes many parameters, including acq. mode, mem. depth, BW limitation, coupling...
So if I want a kind of “reset”, Autoset can save me a few button presses.
If I want to keep the channel and acquisition settings, it is of course not suitable (if it happens anyway -> Cancel )

The Hantek DSO2000 is currently selling for $202 for 2CH 100MHz: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802172076555.html
Thats not too bad.

If its the choice between having a scope and not as a hobbyist, can understand.
If you plan to use the thing to get you through school, I would use student loan money, save up a few more months, etc.
