Use a GPIB Interface to avoid scope GUI (Score 1)

If you use something like http://www.vosssci.com/products/daaac/daaac.html which controls scopes via GPIB then the scope gui doesn't matter much. You never even have to touch the scope except to power it up. This allows you to use multiple scopes at the same time and you don't have to learn each scope, just the software package.
