[TenTec] OT: O'scopes

I have a question for anyone with  direct experience  using non-traditional
O'scopes.
I have just a tiny shack, small radios (ie Eagle & FT-900), and only a small
amount of room to place accessories.
I sold my Tek 475 when I moved overseas and would like to find a tiny
replacement which will fit my needs.
I DO NOT NEED MOST OF THE FEATURES OF THE 475.	
I only used my 475 three or four times in 10 years, but when I needed it, I
needed it, not a voltmeter.

My needs:  to do what Scott did yesterday when troubleshooting his old Omni,
trace signals through a HF rig, and perhaps look at some audio signals.
Nothing more.

Now my first question: how well do these new tiny hand held devices
(scopemeters) work, such as a DSO 1060? Any recommendations along these
lines?

And the second question: how well do these tiny black boxes work that
connect via USB to the laptop and use the laptop's screen for a display?
Any recommendations on these?

Tnx.
