I have both an Analog Discovery 2 and a Rigol DS1054Z.
If I want to look at an easy to find waveform, I always use the AD2. Both because I can use it on battery power with a laptop and if I'm at my desk I get to use my large monitor. It's also great for doing data acquisition straight to the computer (e.g., to capture power usage over time).
I only use the Rigol when I need to do a lot of fiddling with knobs while debugging a circuit - it's hard to beat physical controls. I keep dreaming of a USB device with a handful of high quality knobs that integrates with Digilent's software. If Digilent sold something like that for a reasonable price, I'd sell my Rigol.
