Is the RiGOL DS1054Z still Dave's choice for under $500?

I've no idea whether it will be again, but for the same price it would be the clear choice. The Rigol would be in last place among the three scopes mentioned here, but it is still not bad. I had one, the Siglent is clearly better. The GW-Instek I haven't tried but those that have them seem to like them.

Where's the Black Friday deal? lol. I'd grab one for $399 for sure :)

A few hours of use will quickly disabuse you of the notion that the Rigol has serial decoding. It's a novelty at best.

OTOH, I find the 1104x-e is damn loud (no idea about 1054Z or Instek loudness).

You don't see any advantage in a really easy, fast, touch screen, portable oscilloscope?

Compared to what? It's basic, sure, but it works. At this price point you won't get anything amazing from any of the others, either.

It has all the right features to make it a true bench oscilloscope. Rock solid firmware as well. It is not a 'typical' handheld/portable DSO-ish device that can only show some wiggly lines. You'd be wrong to leave the MicSig TO1000 (or one of the recent incarnations with knobs) out in a US $500 price bracket shootout.

It would be a $500 price bracket bench scope shootout.
If you don't like that then you are free to make your own shootout :P
