Speaking of Scopes....

I've been thinking of getting one for my shop (one from this century
anyway).

What would be the attributes of an o'scope that I should look for?

I would like to use it for (learning how to) diagnose CNC equipment,
audio gear (amps, processors, etc), automotive, shop electrical, etc..

I have bunches of Fluke VOM's, and I was thinking I'd sell them and
get something like this:

http://fluke.com/products/features.asp?SID=11&AGID=4&PID=8221

or the 196 or 199 scopemeter.

It would be great to still have a portable product, but I'm not sure
about the LCD screens and other possible drawbacks to this type of
unit over just keeping my VOM's and getting a bench type analog scope?

In whichever scope I get, what spec's would I need. I'm not NASA,
but I'd like a unit that could do the test that the smart guy on the
ttech phone line would like me to do.
Since I'm also not an electronics wiz... the Flukes can print, or
capture the screens for distribution to places like *this* for
examination by those who know better than I (a really great feature I
think).

Thoughts?
