It's not recommended. For that price you can get the MSO5000.

The Rigol HDO804 is also 12 bits.

You don't need that for looking at i2c buses (or any other digital) though.

You know the saying "Buy cheap, buy twice".

So we should all buy BMW/Mercedes as our first cars?

That is a bit of an exaggeration but it helps to buy a decent car right of the bat. Currently I have a cheap, tiny clunker car on loan from the garage because my car broke down. The tiny clunker car is a handfull to drive (like a go-kart) and noisy as hell.
So yes, spending more gives you more comfort and enjoyment.

Yes of course. I already do micro smd work sort of, I can split iphone logic board sandwiches I have thermal camera for finding shorts and a trinocular strereoscope. I'm still learning how to transplant the cpu/nand/eprom/bbic without floating other components on the new board but yeah my hands aren't as steady as thi was practicing teplacing a cey used to be either I feel your pain lol.the last time replacing the charging ic on a dead donor iphone 13 board I made a mess but hey practice makes perfect right. I'm working diligently to ge my diagnostic abilities on par though and that requires capable reliable accurate equipment and alot of learning.

I was always impressed watching old Louis Rossman videos…. I don’t recall him ever using much more than a multimeter and thermal camera to identify faults. Granted it seems like there was a basic list of failures or bad component histories, so it’s not like he was diagnosing equipment that he did not already have some information about.

If you spend some time repairing equipment, you'll soon find out that a lot of faults are common. So diagnose once and repeat every time you find the same problem.
