Which oscilloscope or graphing meter for 73 911E

I'd like to get a used oscilloscope or graphing meter for ignition system testing on my car (73 911E) and other similar vintage cars of friends. I'm considering a used Fluke 98, Snap On Vantage with KV probe or Vantage Pro or the OTC Perception.

Has anyone used any of these, or others, that they would recommend for ignition testing on early 911s? I have a Fluke 88v which is great so I don't need any multimeter features or RPM and temperature. Thanks.

One more try - somebody must use an oscilloscope. What's the best ignition scope for vintage cars?

I bought a DS0203 (quad input storage scope) a few years ago, which has come in handy for a few things. One of the best things about it is the size - smaller than a smart phone. Don't see why you couldn't use it for ignition work with appropriate probes.

The size is a double-edged sword thing. It's a little fiddly. If you don't need to slip it in a pocket, I'd probably go for a bench scope.
