I got a Fluke 97A and are very happy with it. The fundamental question
with scopes is ? There are some which do the thinking for you
(suppossedly) and some you got do do it yourself. Most automotive ones
are the first variety and the industrial ones are the latter. For the 
" thinking " part you pay a very high premium not only in $$$ but also
in preventing you from properly understanding them, because thy are
extremely difficult ( bordering on impossible) to set up if your
requirements don't fall into the preprogrammed samples. For the same
money you can buy an industrial one with twice the power but be warned.
The learning curve is steep.
