ANY scope is infinitely better than no scope at all.

A 10 MHz, single-trace scope is pretty limited, sure; but I've
found that most of the times when I've reached for my scope
probe, what I was after was just to see "what the heck is going
on" in a circuit- and for that, my old 20 MHz B&K is more than
adequate.

If 10 MHz/single trace is all you can find at an affordable
price, grab it.
