Owon Scope

I just wanted to ask if anyone has had any experience with Owon scopes. They have the least expensive digital scope that can output to a PC I could find at:

Amazon offers money back if it doesn't work and I'm looking to read digital and analog signals upto 20mhz. The signals come in short bursts and are not continuous that's why I wanted a digital storage scope. I need to ouput to a PC so i cam send results to other contractors if I have trouble. What do you think of the scope above and Owon scopes?

Did you read the reviews?

I'd pay a bit more and get one of the digital oscilloscopes that can be software hacked to give you full 200Mhz and 1GS/sec. I think Rigol, Siglent, Hantek etc. all have ones that can, not sure about Owon. They might as well.

Any reason/s not to consider a USB type scope add on for the PC/laptop?

There are plenty available with different features and price tags.
Here is one chosen at random:

Actually you can pay a bit less and get a 60MHz ADS1062CAL!

You haven't said what you need the scope for, - so can't comment on your bandwidth
requirements other than to say its more likely to be 20MHz than 20mhz!!!
