@urbandiscipline88 If this is the only aspect you want to compare the answear is forthcoming.

@linuxgeek81 Given Rigol's memory depth of 1 MB vs. 2.5 KB of Tektronix TDS2002B. which one is better?

You should enter one of your great videos in our contest---you could win a new MSO2000 series oscilloscope or an iPad - mytektronixscope com

why you buy a scope?what's the reason?what do you do with it?k tnx!

According to the TDS2000B Series User Manual,
"The Save Waveform action saves the specified waveform to a file named TEKnnnn.CSV, or to reference memory. The oscilloscope saves waveform data to files as "comma separated values" (.CSV format), which are ASCII text strings that list the time (relative to the trigger) and amplitude values for each of the 2500 waveform data points. You can import .CSV files into many spreadsheet and math analysis applications."
Can you do a demo video of this? :)
How much can you get it for in Germany?

I guess around 1200EUR, maybe a little less by now, but prices for scopes are quite stable over some period of time.

Nice scope, I'm very jealous. I'm thinking about buying a similar Tek myself.
I've been messing around with a dsPIC and with no scope I feel blind. Well actually I've got a sound card scope. But of course it's very limited--had to slow the dsPIC down to 14kHz and the SPI bus down to 900 Hz.
Have you used the capture/storage feature to debug SPI/I2C comms? Once it's captured, can you scroll through each "page"? Can you upload it to the PC to scroll through the "pages"?

You could use it for SPI/I2C however this is an analog scope which means you will have no protocol decoder. For such things a logical analyzer is more suitable. There is probably some way to get the measured data to the PC via USB but you'll need extra software for that and it runs under Windows only so it's not very interesting for me.
