How much noise floor and other things matter in oscilloscope usability

Am I wrong?

It's not a question of right/wrong, it's a question of whether it makes a difference.

There's a whole thread here saying "not as much as you think".

Of course.

It's impossible to define "better" when there's almost 50% price difference.  :-//

Is a car with leather seats "better" than a car which doesn't have them? You can argue that it is but most people still do the shopping with ordinary seats and can fit just as much in the car.

I have the solder station and some fixed voltage psu and one psu I have made by my self with 4 indipendent regulable output but not very precise....

What multimeters do you own? Do you have space for a bench multimeter? A nice bench multimeter will be far more useful than a Siglent 2000 series vs. a Siglent 1000 series. A good handheld meter is also good (and both together is even better).

A good power supply is also more useful. Not so much for providing power but for setting current limits and experimenting with "will this run at XX volts".

You can also afford to get the logic analyzer add-on for your Siglent 1000 series. That will be great for your digital work.

What solder station have you got? A 100 Euro solder station is much better than a 20 Euro station.

Hot air gun for desoldering?

Thermal camera? More useful than you might think...

Don't, it's an abomination get the SDS2104X+ and SPL2016 instead. Totally different and better class of MSO probe.

Tautech says something made by Siglent is an abomination? Avoid like the plague.  :scared:

(I haven't actually used one, I sorta assumed it would work for 300 Euros given that the rest of the 'scope is OK)

And ... totally blows the budget. That's the tautech we know and love.  :)

Edir: I'm only kidding, OP did mention "2000 Euros" somewhere and it's not quite 2000...

Have you tried averaging mode yet?  :popcorn:
