If that's your budget, I would look seriously at the Siglent SDS2000X Plus. It's €1,199, and has the 2000 level features but only 2 math channels (instead of 4), and it's 8bit instead of 12bit. It also has a built-in AWG. I would buy that again ten times before looking at the lower models that include 12bit.

The 2000x plus has even 10 bit resolution up to 20 ish MHz.

Correction:

SDS2000X Plus in 10bit mode is 100 MHz capable < all models.
The 100 MHz model -3dB point is ~185 MHz.

What exactly are you referring to?
Slow?

Even beter than I tought it was  :-+

I dont really know as i have never used a digital one :) But i guess people are talking about the speed of the interface? Opening menus etc… please correct me if im wrong as im really not certain. But any kind of latency in menus would be a nogo for me. I hate how slow this digital age feels - everything has latency :)
This would be way more important to me than specs. I just called my old electronics guru (broadcast guy) and he said 20 Mhz is all i need

the siglent looks interesting. But it being slow kills it for me. And i have read that everywhere so far. Im hardcore adhd and any kind of digital latency drives me mad in milliseconds :) I was not even aware that this might be an issue coming from an analog one. So i really need a super fast interface. Are all siglents like that?

I only have hands-on experience with SDS800X-HD, Keysight DSOX1204G and GWInstek GDS1054B. The Siglent is fine, nowhere near as fast as the Keysight, but the KS is higher noise, lower memory, and generally has less features, bar the integrated FG (not AWG).
The Rigol, as seen in video, seems to respond faster. There is no such thing as a lag-free interface down to the millisecond that I know of, although the fastest will indeed be the Keysight.

I don't think DSO manufactures optimize for hardcore ADHD users, so it's kind of hard to recommend many alternatives.
