With a 200$ budget, and time on your hands, how about designing and building your own.
As others mentioned you perhaps want a logic analyser for the uc too.
Le's see:

Grab one LCD (color?) display.
Grab a fast large FPGA
FPGA has enough I/O pins for analyser and LCD, memory interface.
Grab the free Altera or Xilinx soft.
Grab a very fast AD, with some very fast SRAM.
The fast FPGA may have already a processor.
Now input attenuator, some buttons, simple power supply,
and perhaps the most expensive the case.
Some connectors.
Some input protection.
Anybody have any design ideas?
