Recommended Oscilloscope for retro computers?

[TechCowboy]

I think the fastest retro computer I have runs at 8 Mhz.

I personally have a Hantek DSO5072P (Amazon) which is quite nice but I have been considering a Hantek 2D42 (Amazon). Coincidentally, a few of us on the Open Retro SCSI discord server were discussing this 2 weeks ago and a few members were fans of the "5012H" oscilloscope (Amazon)

I've had decent enough luck with my OWON SDS1104 - the lower end version is quite cheap for basic stuff: https://www.owontechnology.eu/product/1365126/owon-sds1022-20mhz-2-channel-digital-oscilloscope

I'll watch this thread. I'd like all of these:

-cheap
-good triggers
-some standard character signal recognition
-enough bandwitdth

Dunno if it's realistic to expect all of these in 2021 yet. I haven't dug deep yet.

I brought one of these recently: https://uk.farnell.com/tenma/72-8710a/oscilloscope-2-ch-100mhz-1gsps/dp/2499520
It seems to work well enough for checking clocks and bus activity on retro computers
It did however cost £130 less when I brought it!

I bought the Siglent SDS1202X-E a few years ago, and it had worked for my novice needs. I need to spend more time getting comfortable with its capabilities.
