Advice on a low noise precision programmable power supply?

Both are stated on P4 in CV and CC modes:

Ok so the 4000 looks pretty damn nice! The sheet says 5mV pk2pk ripple which is a bit more than the specs on the Keithley and measurable on a scope. The 4000s features are so much nicer than an old Kiethly though! It is a pretty PSU.

Personally, I would choose between the Instek with LAN, or the 4000X series (but pay attention to specs- one opts for lower voltage and higher current).
I don't recommend getting a used PSU. Get one with a fresh warranty.

I dont mind buying some used Keithley or Keysight supplies, but are they any less noisy or even that much better than a newer Siglent/Rigol etc?

Possibly not better (at some given condition, with the unit on hand), but if they provide guaranteed noise specifications then you won't get any worse than that.

Exactly.
Siglent PSU's do clearly provide a ripple and noise spec in datasheets, generally ~350uV and just try to measure this with a scope. :o
Not as easy as one might think.......

Some competitors are using "typical" or "supplemental" specifications for the same, nice to see Siglent being a leader with guaranteed specs.
