12 bit Keysight... when?

For this we switched to a Saleae 16 analyzer which filled the bill nicely.

This is a perfect combination with a scope and we might never see the abilities of a Saleae Logic Pro 16 in a scope. It always depends a lot on the application.
For me, the Keysight scopes, 3000x, 4000x and 6000x are just perfect as they are.
The only (small) option I am missing is to select what is saved on a screen shot.

How so ?
Reverse image ?
No visible menu ?
Trace colors user defined ?
Trace labels ?

I would agree that in some cases record length is everything, but more often it is just for marketing where more is better. Record length can be objectively advertised, but how can fast response of the user interface and ease of use advertised?

Fast response is not the only thing and ease of use is debatable. Try to setup decoding on a non-touchscreen Keysight scope. It is a horrible experience even when compared to a relatively cheap brand like GW Instek.
2N3055 is right on the money here:

In that light it would make a lot of sense for Keysight to come up with a 12 bit version. Unless they can't put one on the market for a competitive price.

See enclosed typical screenshot of the 4000X scope
I would like to:
1. Select the text that is shown up on the top of the screen (Custom Text)
2. Definitely be able to disable the serial number and Firmware version of my scope on the top
3. Enable or disable the time and date at the bottom right of the screen shot
(And why do I have the date and time at the top and bottom?)
4. Be able to select 12h or 24h system to show.
Best scenario would be a custom text with option of an incremental number in the text.
Same is true for the 3000x and 6000x
Besides these little things I am very happy with these Keysight scopes.

Top line is snapshot data.
Serial and FW version are there for traceability. It is a good thing.
But I see no reason why it cannot be made configurable for those that want to disable it.
Time down left is part of the screen. It is a screenshot.
I also cannot comprehend that after 10+ years of platform, Keysight cannot give us 24h clock....
