Because of it, I decided to wait and purchase a bench scope.
Fortunately my wonderful wife said Father's Day was excuse enough to buy one. So, here is what I have decided upon. Siglent SDS1072CML.

I believe for my purposes, this will be an excellent choice.

Wow, that looks like a great deal

It would be best to do some research on the scope(s) you are considering. I came across reports of software bugs in a number of the scopes in this price range.

The following EEVBLOG forum thread discusses alternatives in this price range.

A couple of points here:
1) This is a hobby scope. It will not be used for scientific research.
2) I definitely did do research on this scope before deciding on it. This included eevblog forums. (BTW, the thread you linked only supports my decision.)
3) No matter what I settled on, someone will always have an alternate opinion.
