My own personal opinion, yes.  It's one of those things which you don't
really "need" that frequently, but when you do need it, it has this
magical ability to transform the deeply mysterious into the blatantly
obvious.  An oscilloscope can save a **LOT** of time and frustration.

Unless you're doing a lot of high-speed digital work, though, I don't
think getting a scope with wide bandwidth gets you much added
troubleshooting power.  I'm still using the 20 MHz B&K two-channel scope
I bought for hobby use ten years ago, and am completely satisfied with
it.
