I got one recently, and it's been a pleasure to use. My only regret is not getting the 4 channel version, though I've only needed 2 channels so far. But at my workplace, I've found that an extra channel is the thing that helps me solve a problem, more frequently than higher performance does.
I'm an old timer so I'm familiar with the traditional scope front panel, but have come to like the touch screen for changing settings.
Perhaps my only gripe is how long it takes to boot.
I get around the long boot time by never turning mine off lol
I used to thing touch screens on scopes were a gimmick. Then I used one to name a signal quickly and easily for a trace capture. After that I was hooked.
Also - be sure to upgrade the firmware if you haven’t yet. They fixed that annoying bug where it doesn’t remember your probe settings between power cycles!
Edit: Updated the firmware. Works. First time I noticed the problem, it was at my desk, and I assumed it was because the scope was plugged into a switched power outlet, and I was habitually turning off the lights when I left the room. Only after a couple of tries did I discover that it was an actual bug.
HN: Come for the arcane programming topics that are over my head, stay for fixing my scope!
