IMO the improvements in the latest FW are way more valuable than the ~50MHz of extra BW you may be getting with that old FW version.

Thanks, you're probably right. Is there a list of all the improvements in the new firmware?

i've seen some different improvements mentioned but no comprehensive list.

Nothing from Rigol unfortunately. These are all (IIRC) that have been noted by users so far:

New feature: Manual cursors has DisplayMode X-Y.
New feature: Cursors in X-Y mode.
New feature (as option): CAN trigger and decode.
Bug fix: RS-232 baud rate at AUTO 57600.
Bug fix: Bus decoding of full ASCII character set.
Improved: Faster waveform update rates at lower time bases.
Improved: Intensity grading in Delayed Sweep (Zoom) mode.
Improved: FFT functioning.

they had to modify the entry in the A models.

maybe, but all tests so far were at HW 1.0, there were actually some noticeable board/ input stage changes in the non-A HW 2.0. So it is to early to say that for all the non-A models!

I'm fairly sure Wim meant HW v.1 non-A models (which the vast majority of us owners posting here are) - since there weren't nearly as many HW v.2 non-A models sold. It's obvious Rigol got the new PCB design kinks worked out while supplying the back-orders for the original model.

It's quite certain that the HW v.2 models will have a better frequency response - perhaps the same as A-models.
Wim13:
All bandwidth measurements are made on the same 2072, with hardware version 1.0.1.0.0
i corrected the chart.

sorry for the confusion, there are three major hardware versions on this moment
DS2000 with hw 1.0... DS2000 hw 2.0..  and DS2000A  hw 2.0 with 50 ohm switch.
