Without taking a close look at the specifications for any differences,
the scope capability of the 54200 might be basically the same as the
1631.

The 54201 scope adds a repetitive sampling capability that doesn't
appear to be present on the 54200 and 1631, which increases the
bandwidth up to 300MHz instead of 50MHz in the real-time sampling
mode.
