If a scope gives direct access to its plates then it should be possible to get a bit more bandwidth using an external amplifier built using modern parts.

Also, I vaguely remember articles in PW and the like for mods to scopes to up their bandwidth, implying that the built-in amplifiers are not as good as they could be, i.e. the Y amp is usually the limiting factor.
