The 4-channel Rigol DS1104Z oscilloscope is a 100MHz powerhouse. The DS1104Z is almost identical to its little brother, the DS1054Z, but brings to the table twice the bandwidth.
The 1000Z line of oscilloscopes from Rigol is one of our favourites. They have luxuriously large displays, deep memory and about all the features you'd want in a 'scope. Often, a long list of features implies difficult to navigate menus, but the user-experience from these 'scopes is great! The second row of context buttons down the left of the screen give you button-per-item interaction rather than more endless scrolling.
Here's the keys specs for the 'scope.

| Sample Rate | 1GSa/s |
| Screen | 7", 800x480 Multiple-intensity waveforms |

Who should buy this 'scope:
If you're looking for 100MHz and 4 channels, this one's for you. This 'scope would be an excellent all-rounder on a serious hobbyist's bench, a makerspace or lab - there's enough features and bandwidth to keep almost everybody happy. If you love the look of this scope, but don't need the 100MHz, take a look at the 50MHz variant: DS1054Z
