I am still learning my Analog Discovery 2 that I bought because it had so many tools in one purchase. I like toys so a 4 ch MSO with individual channel control knobs and HDMI output looks fun, but at $1000 hard to justify for a sometimes hobby. I should buy a 1054Z, but I think my AD2 can out do it looking at digital signals and I love the 25" screen. So I do nothing :)

I think Batterfly adds tax later, which puts the price in the same range as most other outfits.

Given that Rigol dominates the entry level scope market, they won't be disrupting that anytime soon. Siglent has 3 entries in the lower range so they're not going to do anything soon. At some point, the only players left are high dollar.

Now if the Keysight 1000x becomes software hackable, then the 449 version could be a killer. Besides the lack of huge memory, I can't see any problems with it.
Frankly speaking, I use a scope with only 1Mpts of memory, and I don't feel limited for most of the time with good trigger setting.

The Keysight 1000X (2-channel) is software hackable. Look for FERCSA.ksx in eevblog.

Rigol has invested a lot of effort and money into their chipset, so they are going to use it in all their DSO gear, imho. I doubt they can produce something cheaper than the 5000 with that chipset.

MSO5000 is too expensive (the firmware is still in like in alpha version, even when Rigol says it is 1.1.4.4) to be the successor of the 1054Z. So far, the successor of the 1054Z is the 1054Z.
