I am in the market for a general purpose oscilloscope for around the house
trouble shooting (TV's, stereos) and serious experimentation on TTL, and
microbased circuits that are from .01 to 20 MHz. So it looks like I could
use a 100MHz scope and found there are quite a few available. Of the many
I have looked at the following are the current contenders (in order of
increasing cost)

B&K - Pretty cheap at $995 but also feels it too.
Hitachi V1050F - some what nicer at $1685.
Kiksui (sp?) 6100 - which is real nice at $1995 with simultaneous viewing of
 regular sweep and the delayed sweep. Plus trigger view and some others.
Tektronix 2200 series (2215 probably) - Has a good name behind it but I have
 heard some disappointed comments from people who have used them.

So the call goes out, if you have used one of the above or some other 100 Mhz
scope that had delayed sweep and a reasonable sized screen (NLS doesn't count)
and it retails in qty 1 for less than $2000 I would be interested in 
hearing your comments pro or con.
