Thanks all for the input, esp @sako243 , @Henrik and @Red'n'Black
I have looked at the cheaper versions of the Picoscope - the Hantek for example and I think I am inclined to pay the extra , one for the better and constantly updated software but two there is a stronger used market so if/when I find I need to upgrade I will not be out of pocket - not to mention that the cheap end the accessories cost a lot relative to the scope and they would be kept.
I do like the idea of portable - but I want a decent size touch screen.
The Automotive Picoscopes have built in higher over voltage safety (2500v), but with the 2204 I will just have to be careful as it's 100V and read range is 20v. The leads have switchable 10x attenuation. If I acquired another inline 10x attenuator - I assume would give it a destruction level of up to 10,000v
