The End of Arduino 101: Intel Leaves Maker Market

I would look for used equipment if that's at all an option.

A "real" scope is a workhorse that lasts forever with the features and the convenience you don't get from those cheaper options. You also want real scope probes. In my area I see someone selling a TDS220 for $200 which would be a good buy. Also an older 4 channel 100MHz Analog scope...

Quality multi-meters are also workhorses.

One of the reasons I chose a USB scope is for the portability. Real scopes are too big to stuff in a backpack. I agree the calculation would be different without that.

I haven't gone far enough in electronics to run into limitations of the above equipment; I figure I'll upgrade when I need to.
