Thanks. Unfortunately his budget is in the $400 range. I made a mistake=20
(and hopefully got it right here) in the posted links (one was wrong):

It should be the Rigol 1054Z https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B012938E76

and the other a Siglent SDS1104X-E=20
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0771N1ZF9

Thanks.
