I second this, as the proud owner of a Rigol 1102E (and several other scopes), it's amazing what $400 gets you there. A good scope is about so much more than just the bandwidth, it's about having a good front end with low noise, and things like AC coupling, and an easily readible screen. I think if I were to only be able to own one scope and do it on a budget, Rigol 1XX2E series is really the only way to go sub-$1000.
