Awesome. I hope that's my fate.

FYI – I received my DS1052E 5/14/10, downgraded the FW, used hyperterminal to enter new model and serial number, rebooted. When I restarted the scope the model and serial number are missing. The scope still operates fine as far as I can tell (at 50 mhz), so I am going to leave as is after reading this blog I’m afraid I might f/u the scope if I attempt the upgrade again.

Yes, I can vouch for Tequipment.net. Evan from tequipment has let me know that Rigol have dropped their price on the DS1052E, so this price drop is permanent.
With these sorts of prices there may be no need to buy from China any more if you are cash strapped. Getting it from a certified dealer like tequipment means you get that warranty.

I don't know if it's any safer but I successfully hacked mine with USB using National Instrument's VISA tool. I had no problems at all.
