No, it offers high bandwidth at very low sample rates
You could use external 50 Ohm attenuators (20 dB = divide by 10 voltage-wise) or FET probes for higher impedance. These cost a lot and are limited to a few GHz of bandwidth. There are also passive probes for 50 Ohm loads( TEK P6056, P6156) but they may present 50 Ohm to 5K to the DUT depending on attenuation factor.
Use Modelsim XE ;-)
These 54xxx scopes are for repetitive signals only. You can use them for characterizing rise/fall times or generate eye diagrams on Xilinx Rocket I/Os, but not for general debugging because you cannot see single events. Triggering in the sense of a Tek 475 is nonexistant, let alone in logic analyzer style.
I'd propose a HP16500C logic analyzer for FPGA debugging with at least one state/time analyzer card and one or two scope cards with 250 or 500 MHz BW. There exists an older scope as a 2 card set(time base and aquisition) that is complete crap.
Or you might choose a non-plugin-version that would be easier to operate than the touch screen menue system.
Single shot scopes with 1GHz or more BW will cost an arm & a leg.
If you insist in 54xxx, I think the sweet spot is 54750 / 54751 and 54701 probes. And don't kill those PC3.5 connectors with cheap/defective SMAs.
