FWIW, in my room it's almost always:
Upper Left - Luma
Upper Right - RGB parade
Lower Left - Split Diamond
Lower Right alternates between Picture, Arrowhead and Vector

I've been in a LOT of color grading suites...probably 100. Not everybody has Tektronix. There are a lot of OmniTeks out there. I don't recall many Leader or Harris. I saw no Ultrascopes in serious color suites. Tek and Omni seem to dominate. Lots of rasterizers up on larger LCD screens.

The SmartScope Duo from BMD allows you to set this stuff up from a connected computer, but doesn't give you the ability to zoom in on the vector or waveforms. That seems doable within the price point and given the fact that the "brains" of the scope is a separate computer anyway.

In one suite that I sometimes grade in, they bought Ultrascopes and I'm HAPPY that I have them, because the alternative is having nothing. That said, if I'm going to do multiple days in a row of color grading, I will make the post house rent my Tektronix scopes so I can go faster and do a better job.
