While everyone is obsessing over waveforms/s, bandwidth and samplerate, the most important thing is overlooked: how convenient is an oscilloscope to use? That makes all the difference in the world!

I like Batronix, and I like the idea of the Magnova, but it's the first of its kind, and brand new. That's not going to translate to convenience unless they're the first (brand new) scope manufacturer to release a bug free scope from day 1.
It's certainly more attractive with the discounted prices though. However, the platform also maxes out at 350MHz, and even though OP only needs GHz once or twice a year, one of these scopes can offer that, but it's not the Magnova. Yet?
Martin72:
I think the Magnova will be good for several reasons.
But apart from the presentation of a prototype at a trade fair, nothing is known about it.
It doesn't even exist on the market yet, so I think it's pointless to bring it into play as a possible alternative.

I don't know ... 1.6 Gsa/s for at least 2800E?
And for the moment is not for sale to US ...

How dare you. Everyone knows that a car with more HP is better, and a phone with more MHz CPU. And here you are bringing up stuff like usability.

Well, the OP didn't mention a timeline so if there is no immediate necessity to buy an oscilloscope, it is worth waiting to have another option. To me that seems a sensible approach for anyone looking to buy equipment. Batronix has provided a date at which their Magnova oscilloscope is going to be sold so it is not like you can't plan for it.

I can wait for their release and reviews to come in, not in a hurry.
