Suggestions on a studio video switcher please?

Oh yes, another really cool discovery: I had bought a Tektronix 1760 Waveform Monitor/Vectorscope about a year ago, thinking it was primarily a troubleshooting/alignment tool for color TV and VCR work. Upon closer examination of the unit and user manual, it turns out that it was designed exactly for the work I'm doing with 8 loop-through video inputs, vector and lightning analysis (composite and component), and even has audio phase and time code analysis functions - along with zillions of other features I don't yet understand.

Now THAT was a very nice coincidence! That helps to make up for the few pieces of gear I've purchase that turned out to be useless because I didn't learn enough about it before buying it.
