Is the SDS2000X HD worth the upgrade from the SDS2000X Plus or Rigol DHO1000?

:o I'll keep that in mind. Do you think the SDS2000X is worth the upgrade from the Rigol DHO1000 that can be hacked to the DHO1204? It seems some people have some issues with it but its at a lower price point

Of course it's cheaper, the rigol is not a 500 MHz design !
Time you spent some study on datasheets.

Don't forget some study of the acquisition systems mentioned in replies 1 and 3.

Sorry I meant to clarify that the comparison would be at the same BW of 200 MHz so SDS2204X HD vs DHO1204. For my work I work in only analog resolving random voltage peaks that can be sensitive to noise so I'd typically use at least 200+ MHz but I have a tektronix for the higher BW. The SDS2204X HD at $3200 is assuming it is not hacked and the DHO1204 is $1099 at current sale price or DHO1074 hacked at only $599. The DHO1204 can do the 200 BW at 500 MS/s on 4 channels and the SDS2204X HD can do 1GS/s.  The 500 MS/s is probably sufficient for the 2x the BW requirement. It's basically a $2k difference between the DHO1204 and SDS2204X HD.

Those 2 scopes are in different worlds. Yes, the SDS2204X HD is absolutely a better scope. Do you benefit from that or not? You have to study the datasheets and see what features you might actually need. The DHO is an entry level scope, and the SDS is a pro level scope. Both cars have 4 tires, which one is right for you is the question.

And "scopes" from Fnirsi are even much cheaper than the both mentioned, everything is relative. ;)
I switched from an SDS2000Xplus to a 2000X HD last year.
I was a little disillusioned at first, as the advantages were not immediately apparent to me.
That has now changed dramatically. ;)
