Moding such an expensive piece of test gear is beyond my pay grade. Not only that I wouldn't won't to brick it. Looks like the best featured scope for the money.
Thanks for all the suggestions and help.
I'm in the UK and can only find one left on Amazon, probably gone now. And the Rigol web site, not sure if Joe public can purchase from there, or trade sales only.

Last time I checked, the UK was still in the EU. So this should work for you:

E.g. 380 EUR (325 GBP) here, with free shipping in the EU:

You can't posssibly brick the scope by applying the unlock code for the options and higher bandwidth. The modification is easily removed, by a simple remote command. And, of course, you can always decide to leave the scope unmodified for now, until you feel more comfortable with it and have a real need for the advanced features.

Go for it!  :)

Regardless of what the unlock code generator may say, you want to enter option code DSER.  All of us had the same concerns, all of us just went ahead and did it anyway.  It has worked for everybody.  No scope was bricked - ever.

If you want a Rigol, I can recommend Telonic as a supplier:

Thank you for the link. Amazon have the Rigol back in stock now, at £375 pounds. It's an expensive purchase, but looks every bit worth the outlay.
Thanks again for all the help and advice.
