The same "all options included" deal is available in Europe, e.g. here:
https://www.batronix.com/shop/oscilloscopes/Rigol-DS1054Z.html.
Might the better deal after you consider shipping and import duties & tax, and of course you get the European consumer warranty.
Those decoders, triggers, memory upgrades... are software-only options. If you have no reservations against upgrading the bandwidth to 100MHz via RIGLOL, then you could add those options as well -- e.g. if you find a lower cost deal on the scope which does not have the options bundled. On the other hand, you can combine the "legal" options with the "hacked" 100MHz upgrade without a problem.

Also get a good set of Hand Tools:
- snips
- pliers
- wire striper ( Example : http://www.irwin.com/tools/pliers-adjustable-wrenches/6-1000v-wire-stripper)
- tweezers
PS.: You can use a nail cutter to cut and strip small wires on the go...

I have been looking at Rigol DS1052E and then "hack" it to become DS1102E(100MHz).
Some guy online told me that i should for sure go for DS1054Z, since its much better, and hack it to become a DS1104Z.(this will break my budget by 130 usd, but it might be worth it?)
So, and now you tell me that i might get more from siglent for the money? Do you have any examples with price estimates? and are they also hackable? Thanks in advance.
--- Quote from: Doctorandus_P ---Power supplies are also fun to build from a kit or from scratch, and a lot of very usable stuff can be bought for very little money nowaday's. For a "higher power" power supply the DPS5005 is very popular.

(Btw, thanks a lot for your post with lots of useful info!)
Sounds very interresting, and something we could do. Looks fairly simple without any soldering(i can solder, but some of my projects have failed even though it was done 100% after the manual and images, might be china crap though...
But back to the point, i wanna buy a casing and a module like DPS5005 to put into it, but there is so many different versions? Communications? no communications? ref: https://www.ebay.com/itm//323287506186
I want to have something like 15A 50V just to have a wide range. But i want everything in one kit, but i am a bit confused with the different module names and sometimes they seem to use another powersupply with the module(LRS-150-48)?
Should i build two into one housing? or can i keep them separate? ref: https://quade.co/2017/diy-bench-power-supply/

AD1 / AD2 requires a PC or laptop with Windows, which must be updated and maintained free of virus, etc... For a public lab space, it is better a benchtop instrument
