You think AU$ tax is high on Agilent? I just got prices in the UAE (United Arab Emirates) from the local distributor. (We have 4.7% import duty only and no sales tax)
US RETAIL Price + 25% - so your DSOX-3014 would cost me US$4.220,-
And add to that... 5-6 weeks delivery...
GW Instek though is A LOT cheaper here than the rest of the world - so now im leaning in that direction. Their documentation is actually really good. If the scope is I do not know.
But for for less than $2000 i can get the GDS-3254 4 channel "250mhz" scope. Scratch that - distributor does not want to sell for the price advertised on his website.
Where as for Agilent - I can only get a DSOX-2012 and stay around the $2000 mark. ($2765.12)
But the UAE has become like that. UNI-T products here are also crazy expensive!!
- About $500 for the UT81 scope *G*
So I guess for 25% i can buy in the US and have shipped over. Does anyone know if Agilent PSU is 90-240volt? Their specs does not list voltages for that part....... I go to the US often enough to get it serviced there if anything fails.
