Picoscope make the cheapest 16-bit scopes around (USD 1000), the 16-bit stuff from Tektronix is a lot more expensive (USD 31000 - that's right I didn't accidentally add an extra zero, it's x30 the price). I would recommend using the Picoscope and use Python's easy c bindings to call the Picoscope library functions to do what you want.
