I don't think this a 'real' option... unless they've changed something the 34465A and 34470A both come with internal GPIB whether you want it or not. :)

No, happily, GPIB is an option for the 34465A & 34470A:
34465A-GPB GPIB interface module for Truevolt series DMMs US$ 150
It's reasonably priced though...
My order is in, with just DIG & MEM options. I'm still hoping for another free MEM promotion so that I can return the license I am paying for.

I've had good experience with TestEquity, and bought my 34465A from them. Ask for 10% off MSRP.

Great tip on the 10%. I got an email offer from TesEquity today for the 2018 Keysight calendar. I filled out the form indicating that I was interested in buying a 34465A. Maybe that will trigger a call. The sales engineer used to call me occasionally but I have not heard from him for a while. Maybe it is because I moved to a different region.

Today I ordered the 34465A with DIG & MEM options. I got the 10% off just by asking for a quote. I told them to not install the options just in case a Free MEM promotion appears and I can return the license. However, since they seem to be getting only batches of 35 meters, and I am in the second upcoming batch, there is probably no reason for a promotion at this point. I will probably not get delivery until mid-April. It will be a race between the 121GW and 34465A...

And the winner is the 34465A. It arrived today, a full week ahead of schedule. It seems that TesEquity got more delivered in the first batch. It does not look good for a free MEM promotion, but I will check one more time before installing the option keys.

Congratulations
Another option that you might want to look in to is the DIG (Digitizing) option for the 34465A.
JonM:
Thanks, I did get both DIG & MEM options, but since there was once a free MEM promotion that was the most that I was hoping for. I thought that during or after WAVE 2018 a promotion might appear. Oh well....
