Well I guess the cat's out of the bag.
Just set them up on my bench.
The PSU looks nice, has a nice sparkly powder coated case and a top carry strap - old school. :-+
The scope is nothing new.
The new FG reminds me of the Rigol FG, but still not the best form factor, I never likes the Rigol one for that.
The meter is, well, not at all suited to normal lab use in terms of form factor obviosuly. I get that it's aimed at education where you might have one of these siting on it's own on a student desk, but otherwise :--
With the probes just sitting on the bench in DCV mode it just sits there annoyingly autoraning continuously, presumably picking up the 50Hz, that would drive me absoutely nuts.
Both the PSU and FG have an annoying dimming screen saver mode by default.
Yes you can stack them that like for photos, but you can't use them like that, just the usual tilting feet. Although any one of them does work on top of the PSU ok-ish.

I doubt it, you'd need new molds anyway for the different cutouts. I think it's a marketing thing.
Yes, it's a new budget range.

Does it have a high-impedance input by default?

Nope, 10M.
On High-Z it does the usual charge up/down thing but does also annoying autorange but with bonus relay switching!
Just shot a quick video on that, but not sure if Keysight would want me releasing that yet.

Perhaps they are trying to emulate the Fluke 8846A...
