Both are available within a few pence of eachother.
For use repairing CD players initially but hope to expand into other areas if I am able......
DSO5102P
Pros:
Can be hacked to 200MHz (don't think I'll need to though).
Available in my country.
Well known model with large knowledge base.
Being a novice I like the idea of the autoset button. (Unsure if the other has this option)
Cons:
1M memory depth (will this matter much I have read conflicting opinions)
Age. Not really sure if this is a pro or a con, as in, "plenty of spares available" or "spares no longer available"?
DSO2C15
Pros:
8M memory depth
150MHz out of the box
Cons:
Hasn't been around long enough for all the bugs to be ironed out? Or has it?
I can only find it shipping from China, (is there any reason to take the time/risk over getting the other within a few days?)
Age, (same as above).
I have been using an old CRT 60MHz model to view laser eye patterns but this is becoming unreliable and takes up a lot of space compared to both scopes above. (It really would be nice to free up a bit more space).
Any advice gratefully received.
