First or second, really. Teledyne LeCroy are shiny to look at, but super expensive for what you get, and don't always have the best UI.

I'll also put in a vote for Rohde and Schwarz, at least for the really really high-end gear.

@zetasyanthis our work got a LeCroy oscilloscope just recently and i have to say their UI is excellent, at least now

we haven't used any of their older equipment so it might be terrible, but their current one i would say has slightly better UI than Tek and on par with Keysight

@zetasyanthis this might be why so much of their marketing material is "look how fantastic the UI is, we spent tons of time and effort making it as good as possible", and advertising their scopes as having MAUI, "Most Advanced UI"

@Felthry

Yeah, sounds like they fixed that up a bit, which is great! And I think a lot of the trouble with UIs in the last little while is about dealing with just how much crap these devices can do now. O.o;

@zetasyanthis the big draw of LeCroy scopes right now are
- the 12-bit resolution
- the high channel count (seriously they have an 80-channel scope!! that is not an extraneous zero!!!!)
- *really* big screens to fit lots of data

...I'm not an advantage of lecroy scopes that's just my signature

@zetasyanthis oh i forgot one

- current probes that are powered 100% by the scope itself, no external power supply needed
