Opinions on these two scopes?

When I was in school we used a Tektronix TDS1002b scope to do our electronics work, I like this scope, have become familiar with it, and it has USB capabilities.

I was also looking at the TDS1012b which has a bit more bandwidth even though the 1002b would likely do everything I need it to.

The 1012b doesn't appear to have a USB port though?

Does anyone have any experience on these scopes or general advice on scopes ?

I can find both on eBay for roughly the same price so I'm not sure which I should choose, although in 2 hours I may be the ending bidder on a 1002b.

You didn't wait very long for an opinion. :)

I would have suggested Rigol. You would most likely get more bang for your buck but it is still hard to beat the quality of a Tek. And a pretty decent price too.

I didn't wait long because I put the bid in the night before, and it ended before anyone replied here.... I was the winner so I didn't have a choice but to buy it :)

I'm happy though, I'm familiar with this unit as we used them in school a lot, and it's really compact which I like as well....plus like you said the price was unbeatable (if it's in good shape)
