Disclaimer: I read through some of the old posts to see if this question had been asked already, sorry if this is redundant.
I'm fairly new to the automotive industry but I've spent a lot of time reading different material, Paul's ebook being one of them, and electrical diagnostics is something I really want to be good at. What pico scope gives you the best bang for your buck? I can't afford something with all the bells and whistles but I'm willing to pay a little more for something that isn't going to leave me needing more. I've read a couple posts on here of guys buying the 2000 series, to which my understanding is that they are not designed for automotive use? Is that right? Can you get away with using a 2000 series or is your money best spent elsewhere?
Save up and buy the standard 4 channel automotive Pico scope. The 4425 I think? Buy once cry once. It'll last a lifetime and it's worth every penny. If you're on a budget, buy the minimal kit that just has the leads. Then buy the extras on Amazon.
The 4425 is a truly awesome bit of kit 10 times better than any of the rest but remember even a 60$ no brand Asian scope is 1000 times better than no scope.

4425 like everyone else said. I think you will need at least 2 channels to get your feet wet in my opinion. An amp clamp looking at parade injector wave form with sync probe on a single injector is what I though about when looking at the uscope as my first scope. Dicided to save a few months and with the 4425.
