Fluke 123 O-scope

What sort of work are you doing? For car work, it should be a good choice. For debugging digital electronics, or anything high speed, they may be a bit lacking. Do you need the durability and portability? I have used two different fluke scopes in this series, I think they were a bit older, and I remember not being horribly impressed. Iirc, the displays were pretty dim, which I guess is done to save battery power. The ones I used were only 2 channels, I don't know if they make 4 channel versions.
If you are trying to debug electronics at a low level, I would look at Tek tds2000 series benchtop unit and the Chinese knockoffs of it. The tds2000 series comes in a number of configurations and speeds, ranging from $1000 to $2200 or so new, and I'm sure much less used. If you need more than this, you probably have a good idea of what you need, and the costs associated.

It's for automotive use.
A bit slow for whats going to happen in the future of the automotive world I would say, the 124 is twice as fast (still slow)
Have you decided against a Pico kit? just consider whatever handheld you buy short of a Snap On Vantage Pro kit you are going to have to buy the accessories like current clamps/automotive leads/breakouts etc.
Pico comes as a complete kit and is preset for automotive work and you storage is only really limited by whatever computer you hook it to.
The only real downside is that you need a ruggedised windows Laptop to make it suitable for a workshop environment (standard lap tops work but are so easy to break)
