I read that there were lags with the DS1054Z but the problem seems to have been fixed.
I do motor control, simple filters, Op Amp, mechatronics, arduino/maker kind of stuffs.I would definitively go for a 4-channel if you intend to work on BLDC, PMSM, ACIM or any kind of brushless motors.
The hardware is definitely capable of 200MHz, but I suspect some software hacks will be needed to make it work properly.

Also for "Arduino" - two channels isn't enough for that.The hardware is definitely capable of 200MHz, but I suspect some software hacks will be needed to make it work properly.And probably some hardware hacks as well.
And let's not forget that the probe compensation issue was one person, my probes are fine. They do feel cheap, like $15/pair cheap, but they do the job - and the lead is silicone.
For this money scope itself really cool, menu very fast, no lags, no delay. All functions work well.
But included probes - bull shit. I can make photo how probe's tips was scratched by their included hook tips after two week of use. Right place for this probes in trash.
While I work with serial buses, I also do not feel any inconvenience with 1 Mpts memory in my scope, could be great if follower of "huge deep memory" and long single mode acquisition time, will explain me for what in 70/100 mHz scopes them need more. Use it as logic analyzer?

Really?
How long you'll be rewind all your captured data for looking for something interesting you?
How long you'll be rewind all your captured data for looking for something interesting you?The thing is you don't look at everything but if you have enough data you can dig straight into a problem area without needing to recapture data. It simply is a much more efficient way of working.

Setup right trigger, use segmented memory and etc..

There is no hack yet to get to the full option 1000X buying the cheapest EDUX 50MHz scope. The most you can get from the EDUX 50MHz is to DSOX with 70MHz and you need to switch a couple of resistors and purchase and solder some components to the EXT INPUT section.
Also if you need WAVEGEN, you need to purchase the EDUX-G or DSOX-G model, you cannot get the WAVEGEN later if you purchase the EDUX-A or DSOX-A models, as the WAVEGEN components are not populated in the PCB. Bode Plot is only available on the G models, as you need the Wavegen functionality.

Thanks. I have a function generator already. Is there a point to have the WAVEGEN component?
In the past, many forum users recommended the Rigol DS1054z when somebody asked for suggestions to purchase a scope. Given that the new Keysight 1000x is out, which one is a better choice? It seems to me that the GDS-2204E is better than the DS1054Z. If 2-channel is OK for me, which do you recommend?
The Siglent.
The probes are very low quality and sensitive to temperature. So you will have to calibrate the probe over and over.
The Siglent.No way. Not unless/until they fix the (too many) bugs in the FW. I've had one sds1kx and it's a pleasure to use (not more than the keysights though) but you can't rely on something that refuses to work properly all too often. So I had to return it.

Hmm, that's weird. I wonder if good probes use an air dielectric trimmer for compensation but cheap probes use something very sensitive to temperature changes?
The Keysight firmware isn't much better and that's on your list, so...
