Don't forget that a DSO is a fundamentally different instrument, not just a "new better digital version" of something old.

A well-equipped lab or repair bench has both.
We certainly do. Many times DSO is fine, but my personal observation has been, if you don't have 10x the stated bandwidth of the thing you want to look at, the DSO won't cut it.
But, FWIW, I love my 2465. I am sure others may disagree, but I always felt Tek made the best analog scopes, and HP made the best LAs. So, that's what I own.
That's a commonly-held opinion. More generally, "Tektronix for time domain, HP for frequency domain". :-)
Agreed. Even if you like the HP oscilloscopes' interface, it still won't trigger on anything but a square wave :P HP also made some seriously top-notch VTVMs and transistorized voltmeters. Thanks, Jonathan
