High speed without storage is really junk. You just can't do much with them. 

I recall a PO to fix an old 7904 in the 1980 running about $1500. Serious money 
back then. I bet they are unrepairable today.

Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Rigol scopes

Please don't interpret what I said to mean that no 'scope is better than
an asian one.

Without question, any halfway capable product is far better than nothing.
But, IMO, a high end (used) analog scope beats the newer mid range digital
scopes.

Furtheremore, if you really don't know what you're looking at, I far
prefer a scope that cannot add pathologies.

YMMV,
