I have an old bench analog scope and when it was time to spoil myself 
for another tool I went for  a battery powered portable scope, the ease 
of use and the ease without an AC supply increases its usage more than 
other features for the scope.

Now using the scope is as easy as using a multimeter (form factor, ease 
of use, etc), it get use like a multimeter.  I bring the scope to the 
test unit, not the other way round.

As for a more advanced bench scope, I am waiting for a situation that 
really demand it so I can skip as many generations of intermediate 
models as possible - just don't have the life, space, time and money for 
all these in-between.
