I have no complaints.  None.  I don't REALLY stress it that much,
though, so YMMV, especially if you do any RF stuff, etc.  The fastest
I've pushed it to is high tens of kHz, but it doesn't even hiccup.

It has a built in FFT, which can be handy, but the utility of it is not
that great.  The best part is probably the fact that the four
channels have different colors, so you can easily distinguish the
signals.  The probes even come with matching color bands for both
ends, so you can tell which probe is which at both ends and match
to the color of the trace (at least, you can if you aren't as color blind
as I am.  I can't match some of the probes to the traces, but I can
tell the traces apart with no trouble.)

Good math options, good triggering, nice buffer size.  With four
channels, that's enough to function as a mini-LA.  All in all, I'd say
it completely changes my opinion of DSO's.  I'd had some bad
experiences in college, but those scopes were pretty old.

I'll warn you away from the interface module, though.  It doesn't
come with any useful software (or warn you of that fact), which
means you either have to cough up its cost over again or write
your own.  Speed is fairly limited, too (19200 kbps- takes a LONG
time to get a screen capture downloaded).

All in all, I'm thrilled by it.  Again, though, I'll include the caveat
that I'm still fairly fresh and what I consider top notch may not
measure up to the needs of someone who has a bit higher
expectations.
