Any advice? I'm open to suggestions for other scopes too.

Welcome to the forum.
The $3,690 SDS5034X is worthy of consideration too with upgrade available to 500 Mhz however to go higher you need the more expensive SDS5054X.

Thanks, I'll review that. Is it not an option to purchase the SDS5034X, upgrade to 500 MHz, and later upgrade to 1 GHz?

Yup you certainly can do that but entry cost is higher at $5,890.
They have a better front end for the higher BW's. ;)

Hm?
This is a model-specific thread here... ;)

Yes, it would be an excellent choice :)
--- Quote from: zhoneybee on April 30, 2023, 12:35:40 am ---I admittedly don't know whether a built-in SA is worth the premium for me; I don't get enough opportunity with the one at work to become proficient.

And what better way to become proficient than having a scope with SA? :) In all honesty, I can't say that "everyone needs spectrum analysis" because that simply isn't true. However, in my experience, once someone learns how and when to use spectrum analysis, it becomes very hard for them to use a scope without it: there are many, many cases where looking at spectrum can help solve or identify an issue that would be very difficult to see in the time domain.

I can't comment on future promotions or bundle options, but I can tell you that the MXO4 is an entirely new generation of oscilloscopes and is about as "future proof" as you can get in terms of performance and support across the entire T&M industry. We spent many years developing the MXO and its custom ASIC (which is where most of the cutting edge specs come from), and we are adding significant functions and features with each new release.
Obviously, I'm just a little biased here, but the MXO is the first oscilloscope I've been really excited about in a long time :)
