I like the Panasonic VP-5512P!

It is a 2/4/8 trace scope with a lot of excellent features.

It has - 
 100MHz Bandwidth.

 CH1,CH2 - 2mv-5v/Div Inputs (CH2 with invert).
 CH3,CH4 - External trigger inputs (600mv/div).

 Can display delayed sweep traces simulaneously for all of the
 above channels.

*Sepparate intensity controls for normal/delayed sweep (very important).
 Has all the usual trigger/display options as a typical Tek scope (465).

 All spare parts are stocked out of New Jersey and the schematics are
 supplied with each unit.

The unit comes with two x1/x10 probes.

They are much better than the equivalent Hitachi scopes on the market.
Retail price = $1595.
