I like to have my own test gear for my personal projects but it is often disappointing to use a $40000 scope at work and then go home to a $400 scope (although the performance of $400 scopes has gone up lately if you know how to shop). I tend to buy older gear (My workhorse analog scope is a Tek almost as old as I am and I use an old Gould logical analyzer that weighs more than all the PCs in my house put together). I also don't mind homebrewing gear when it makes sense.
