On Tequipment.net it is less than 50 bucks more compared to the DS1054Z. IOW: you have to shop around a bit to get a good price.

Yep. The price of the Instek is very variable for some reason. If you can get one at a good price, go for it. If not, get one of the others.

It should be enough to trust on the specs they disclaim,

Not the Instek. :)
Insteks use a software plugin system so things like serial decoders aren't officially available on the base model but they can be hacked using the serial decoder modules from higher models (they're all compatible).

Oh...thank god, no gateway error 502 at last ( for nearly 12 hours here).
I don´t like price comparisions when model xyz would be hacked.
You pay for example 400 bucks, what do you get for ("raw").
Despite from this, 1MP FFT is an advantage against the 1000Z what the GW Instek concerns.
If 10Mpts memory is really valid for each channel independent, it would be an advantage too(I don´t think so, it would be).
Display size and resolution are the same, don´t know about the intensity grade capabilities of the instek.
Fact is, you can get the "old" rigol with nearly all options (official) for under 400 bucks, starting at 50 Mhz bandwith.
The title of this thread was " is the rigol ds1054z still a good option in 2019" .
I would say yes.
Maybe for some reasons what so ever no, but in genereal yes, of course.

For the Rigol DS1054Z kind of money, Rigol DS1054Z is still best bang for the buck.
For the Siglent SDS1104X-E kind of money,SDS1104X is BBFTB .
For Rigol MSO5000 kind of money MSOX5000 is BBFTB .
For Siglent SDS5000X kind of money SDS5000X seems to be BBFTB.

Is the Rigol DS1054Z still good option for this money in 2024? (4CH 50MHz £352 )
Siglent SDS1202X-E 2CH 200MHz £336
Should I consider Rigol or keep looking for something else?

NO!
Get a Rigol DHO804, it's two orders of magnitude better for approximately the same money.
