DSOX1204G 200Mhz vs Used MSO3014A (Calibrated in 2018)

<< < (8/12) > >>

nctnico:
Buying something and then hoping to resell it again is a bad idea. What if Siglent decides to have a promotion and cut the price by 30%? You wouldn't be the first. No, the proper way is to get a demo unit to try before buying.

...

If you hate it, sell it and upgrade the Keysight.

Not a bad idea! However, I'm not sure that the resale value of the 2104X will hold up. Any chance you have some experience in this area and/or can comment on used 2104X prices? Otherwise, I'm just going to semi-trust ebay :)

I am dead serious. You'll want to keep both. You'll love Keysight if you want CRT emulation. But once you try SDS2104X+ and if you give it time to learn how to use it you will want that one too, for all the stuff Keysight simply doesn't have. Really, those two combined are very powerful combination..

There are always risks in life, but since they are already having a promotion right now, I think a sudden devaluation is unlikely.  In fact, the opposite is much more likely, especially in today's very strange economic environment. 

Who is going to provide a demo unit for an entry-level scope?

Sad for the US they don't still have both 2kX Plus promos running like we do.  :)

I've had no problem trying a GW Instek GDS2204E for over a month.
