Go down to Fry's and see if they have a TDS1000 (monochrome) or TDS2000
(colour) series scope. They are the same except for the screen. I do not
know what the price would be relative to a TDS200 series, but I had the
impression that the TDS1000 series made the TDS200 series obsolete, but I
could be wrong.

>How useful is a color screen?

I have both a TDS2024 and a TDS3034, and like the coloured screen. The
probes come with little coloured plastic pieces to clip on to identify the
probe with the screen colour. I find it helps identify precisely which trace
is coming from which test point in the middle of the test bed mess. YMMV but
for me it would be colour every time.
