My idea is to buy a PSU that will last me for long as I don't buy often, thus fitting all future needs too. So yes it needs to be programmable, and with at least a timer.
Now, I am split between different models and brands. As far as I understood the Siglent is good in terms of use, but has this banana plug issues (non-standard spacing between the leads, and non-standard holes that prevents a safe connection of the lead cables). I don't believe the first issue to be a problem for me, but the second may be more, thus my question.
Price is indeed also in the balance, since I'm renewing nearly all my equipment (most are old). Getting all the stuff from Siglent may help me get a discount, too.
