There is one other feature that I think is kinda neat with these USB
units,
you can be up to 16' from the PC. If you have limited desk space
you don't
have to have the bulk of the equipment right next to you.

I stand my Tek 485 vertically on the floor. I slide it under the
table when I don't need it and slide it out (and over to one side)
when I do.
My workspace has 3 stations arranged in a U shape. The corner
stations have computers and the center station has the work bench.
The scope resides under the work bench.
When I mess around with controllers and software, I have the device on
the right hand workstation with the scope pulled out and near the left
side of my chair. It works well.
I have those storage compartments typical of office furniture above my
work surfaces so I can't really mount a full sized scope above the
work surface.
Now, one of those digital scopes would mount perfectly just below the
storage compartment. They aren't nearly as deep as the 485. Alas, I
can't afford it...
