Exactly, well sort of. I would not consider myself an enthusiast, but I am a serious hobbyist. While I do not personally own such equipment, I do have access to just about anything a "professional" has access to in my home. As my buddy has been an EE for IDK 35 + years, and has acquired quite a collection. Professional grade Oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, emulators, 80's arcade PCB test equipment, and last but not least reflow ovens. One home made out of a convection oven using an MSP430 launchpad( for which I wrote the code ), and a professional infrared reflow oven. To be sure, there is a lot more, but I think the point is made.
