Oscilloscope dealers in the US



So, finally it's time to look for a new DSO. Except Newark, TestEquipmentDepot and Tequipment I haven't found a lot of major dealers for new scopes and other test equipment. To my surprise I could not find regular digital scopes at Digikey, Mouser or ham shops like AES. Are there other major ones? Where do you typically buy?

I don't need it often so I wanted to stay under $2k. Must be 1Gs/sec single-shot or more, 200MHz BW, plus a USB connection of some kind, and not too heavy. So far I found:

Agilent DSO3202, pretty nice features but only 4k memory.
Tektronix TDS2022, only a paltry 2.5K memory.
Instek GDS-2202, 25K memory, under $1500.

My favorite from a feature point of view is the Hameg HM2008. A stunning megabytes deep buffer, analog portion with 14kV tube, meaning you get a real analog scope along with it. But OTOH due to the high Euro it's around $2500. That would be a bit much but ok. However, its size and weight really wouldn't work, it's basically a full size big scope.
