• There are some differences.... The A model can do higher frequency, higher slewrate, has higher current readback resolution and wider range on resistance readback. It comes with LAN interface and digital I/O as standard.
  
  As far as I understand it's all software options and the A-model has those installed by default.
  
  Making the LAN interface optional is a big step in the wrong direction IMHO.

• they both have the same color screen, but the DL3021 is using (almost) only one color.
  It is the same as with the DP832 and DP832a.
  
  Unfortunately it is not possible (well it probably is, but nobody was able to yet) to hack the DP832 so it thinks it is a DP832a.
