Just picked up a GW Instek GDS-820C Scope for a very nice price. This model was the Dual Channel Color LCD 150 Mhz Bandwidth version. I likely wouldn't have got the 60Mhz Monochrome version of this scope for this price anywhere else - So I'm a 'happy camper'. The scope was missing the CD/Software but I easily got it off the Canadian website.
The scope appears to be a good buy. My only complaint would be that they could have used a slightly higher resolution for the display (used to the Tek TDS models). I'm also thinking that the scope will be pushing itself when reaching the upper limits of it's bandwidth - but for ATMEL AVR and PIC uController stuff it'll be fine.
This scope gets my thumbs up, and I hope that the Instek Power Supply reliability and reputation fall also on their Oscilloscope line. Only time will tell.
