Hello friends,

I received good price for Rigol MSO5104 model at distributor. It also comes free with MSO5000BDN upgrade functions.
It has power analysis function (Built-in power analysis MSO5000-PWR). I am thinking to buy as it is 4 channel, that can help for better diagnostics at ESC design, I had old 25mhz Owon oscilloscope.

Do you recommend that brand, model? I searched at forum, some of us also using Rigols. Is that 4 channel overkill for purpose or good option?
 
Brand wise my little Rigol DS1054 has always treated me well even if I'm a monkey who barely knows how to use it and it's spent more time being used strapped to a tripod in the middle of a field than indoors. Guess I can say I'm impressed with how it handles operating at the limits of it's recommended temperature and humidity ratings. Screen isn't the best in direct sunlight. Does have a weird thing where if you save lots of screen captures to a usb drive, after you have 20-30 saved on the drive they take longer and longer to save until you delete them. I doubt any of that was of much use but at least they seem decently built?
 
My friend has this one. It's nice. Rigol stuff seems pretty good, we have some at work.
