Tho what does irk me is that the X3000 has the same buttons on the front panel as the 6000 but they are in different locations. This often results with me hovering my finger in front of the wrong part of the front panel as i frustratingly look for the button i want to press. Oh and having a LED for AC BW 50Ohm next to the channel would be nice to have like it was on the 6000 (Seen lots of confused coworkers due to AC or BW limit being on without them knowing).

LOL that sounds familiar...
I personally miss the most physical LED for trigger event.
To the point that I connected a low power LED and resistor to trig out and sticking it out in the front.

Oh that's really tempting. The trig out on my keysight is on the back so I'd need to do something a little more than just putting a LED in a BNC.
Berni:
Oh nice trick.

This is one of the features that the 9000 series had that i wish was on the 6000 and X3000. The 9000 has some white LED illuminated text on the front panel that blinks "Trig'd" or lights up "Wait" when there was no trigger for a second or so.

The 9000 also has an area of the front panel dedicated to trigger where it has colored LEDs for channels 1 2 3 4 to show the trigger source, LEDs that show rising/falling/both trigger edge, LED for auto/manual trigger. And best of all each one of these LEDs has a button next to it to toggle the state of those LEDs. This makes setting up the trigger such a breeze.

But somewhat ironically the 9000 series of scopes are in all other aspects terrible for quick setup. Its a windows scope that boots slowly (Tho with an SSD it boots just as fast as a X3000), has lots more settings to tweak, slow update rate etc. I would much rather have these nice quick trigger setup buttons and LEDs on the lower end scopes where quick setup is more important.

I obviously can't share numbers, but the AFR/MTBF is easily 2x better than a lot of our other gear.

The PSU actually looks nice. https://youtu.be/9KcOQsVxtoU?t=475

I have not used the scope much yet, maybe 20 times , out of which the power switch failed two times. It feels like the pushswitch latching mechanism failing.
