Like I said, I'm evaluating and looking to use Resolve for teaching. When my University springs for external scopes (instead of giving the Vice-Chancellor a massive pay rise), I'll be right there, with my 65-year old eyes.

For educational purposes the internal scopes are just fine.

In fact, I've drilled my University students on the scopes pretty hard and by the end of the semester they can't grade without looking at the scopes and the internal scopes are just fine for teaching the fundamentals. 

My first year I walked in to class about 5 weeks into the term and was accosted by 6 students upset that the Windows Media Composers didn't have scopes built-in (the Mac version I taught them on did). Apparently it was optional on the Windows side? They couldn't believe they were expected to manipulate the color correction tools without the use of scopes. I wasn't more proud than in that moment!

For professional work—I'd feel naked. The internal scopes don't update every frame and I'm pretty sure they're subsampled (though I'd have to check the manual to see if that's true).

As a very infrequent freelancer there are two questions I ask when booking a session at another facility:

Do you have a control surface?
Do you have outboard scopes?

For each No, I bring my own.
