How are the Instek DSOs, in particular the "portables" like GDS-2064,
in comparison to comparable Tek 'scopes like the TDS2004B? Tek has
always had a good reputation, but the Instek is considerably cheaper.
Is it the name you're paying for, or are the Tektronix models really
that much better (reliability, performance, etc)?

At this end of the market they are all pretty much the same in terms of
performance and build quality, be it Tek, Agilent (actually a rebadged
Rigol), Instek et.al
Buy based on a) price, and b) what spec/feature is most important to
you.

The Instek/Goodwill GDS-2064 has 25K sample memory, that's pretty good,
the Tek only has a pathetic 2.5KB.
