Yeah they do that, but not very aggressive - I can live with that.
Would be nice to have, maybe in 20 years :)

Maybe in 20 years, I'll be able to buy one of these for $1,500 on eBay...

Hey, but if I buy it NOW, I can 'save' almost $90,000, it is Black Friday here after all.

I've got a couple of the E4433 sig gens here. One is an A version and one is a B.
The A version is very similar to the B except that it isn't (wasn't) as well supported by Agilent so there are fewer design tools available for it and also it is lacking a few menus/features available on the B. Also, the firmware development for the A seemed to stop soon after the B version was released. So I would avoid the A versions (and choose a B instead) unless you find one at a price you can't refuse.
I do like using these generators, especially the E4433B if it has the Dual Arb option UND. This transforms it into a very versatile signal generator.
The most significant downside is the frequency plan the E443x uses to generate signals down at LF>>HF>VHF because it uses a basic BFO/downmixer from UHF. So the close in phase noise performance is extremely poor on the lower frequency ranges when compared to a few classic old school generators.
