You can say that again. While I don't miss fussing with the old
storage-tube scopes, a good analog scope is still a very valuable
tool (mine is an old Tek 465). I wouldn't mind owning a 7000 series
unit with a nice palette of plugins, but I suspect those are still in
high demand and command real money.
