I looked at this scope at an Autopart International open house a few months ago & was not impressed. The spec's on the scope seem good, but software seemed very limited. I am comparing it to my Hantek DSO-3064 that I have owned for several years. For your price point that would be the direction that I would recommend going. It is a good scope & they have updated the software several times in the last year & it keeps getting better. I also see used Hantek scopes come up on Ebay every once in awhile & if you are patient you can get a very good deal. Recently saw a complete automotive kit with high & low current clamps go for under $350.00 shipped. At that price point no decent tech should be without one. A little bit of a learning curve, but I good scope if you give it a chance. It's no PicoScope, but's it's 1/4 of the price.

I also really prefer to have my scanner & my scope as two separate pieces of equipment as I often use them simultaneously. I would find it really inconvenient to have to keep switching back & fourth between the scope & the scanner. Learned this on a Snap-On Verus that we had at a place I used to work. The thought of one machine that does it all sounds good at first, but in my experience is more of a pain than it's worth.

Hantek has a cheap scope, 1008 series I believe. 8 channels but it's slow. Low sample rate & small memory buffer, not good for anything other than diagnosing a completely failed component. Stay away if you are after a real scope. It's more like a fancy 8 channel graphing meter. I also understand that Hantek is coming out with a new scope that will be somewhere between the 1008 & the 3064, but I don't know anything about it. 

The Autel scope software doesn't have a demo mode like the Hantek & the Pico do, so it's really hard to get a feel for it's capabilities without actually having the scope connected. If you really think you might want to go with the MaxiSys scope, see if you can demo it for a week or so to see it it is right for you. A scope isn't something you are going to master in a week, so be informed before you make a purchase that you might end up regretting. It's a big purchase & you want to buy one that you will use & not something that is going to sit in the bottom drawer of your tool box gathering dust.
