Still, there were better deals to be had - you didn't wait long enough after your original post. Something is screwy with the Forum notification system today; I'm not getting notified of posts for a LONG time.

Have made my mind up and am going to buy the Rigol DS2102......I'm in the UK and can only really see the Rigol UK site as an option to buy..........but I also notice that I can buy via Ebay.
Rigol-uk.co.uk = £835 + vat = £1002 total
Ebay (shipped from China) = £849 total
UPDATE: Have bought the DS2072.

Be aware, this can be a trap: I do not know how it works in the UK, but I am pretty sure, you will have to pay import VAT when the package arrives in the UK (this is the fact in all European countries). As it will be held at customs (pretty large and heavy box) you will then pay 849 Pounds to China plus import VAT (same as regular VAT) plus customs (3% or so) to the UK. Thus: China is not cheaper than UK.
And then: do you think you can deal with the Chinese dealer about the three year warranty? Rigol Europe will probably decline any warranty as you did not buy a European model (I bet they recognize this on the serial number).

VAT yes, customs would be a surprise. There happens to be no customs on importing oscilloscopes into the EU.
Depending on the circumstances there can be other costs which might or might not apply. E.g. cost for currency conversion. Fee for processing the VAT. And a classic, the ripoff fee carriers like to charge for the import paperwork.

Edit: At the very least, there is always Batronix in Germany: DS2072 = €710 + VAT (or NO VAT if you have a number) + free shipping in EU + 30 days trial period. But I know of an even better deal that's often possible ;)

Where has a better deal? I'm looking at getting one and getting it from Batronix seems like the best so far. I have a VAT number.
