I do have access to a 250 MHz scope but I've never bothered using it. I have a dual scope on my bench, its only 20 MHz bandwidth, but it has the ability to switch between a digital scope and an analogue one, at the push of a button, I've used it for over 22 years and its still perfect for me, mainly as most of my work is precision low frequency stuff. Now some might say you WILL need a storage scope, but for starters and without knowing what area of electronics you will be working in, I would suggest a cheap oscilloscope - cheap enough so that at a later time when you realise what its limitations are you will know which specification to go for. If you can afford £50 ($100) that will buy you a very nice 50 MHz analogue scope.
