I just noticed this scope does not seem to have a "persistence" mode in the display. Am I missing something?
If it is not there, is this a significant issue? I am still not really sure how useful it is, but it seems to be a big talking point on competitive scopes. So some real advice would be useful.

A quick search of the manual says it has persistence controls as you'd expect.
Just been having a more detailed look through the manual.
.......
Obvious omissions :
No Nth-edge burst or runt pulse trigger
No integration/difference maths function
No event search ( never used it myself but I can see how could be useful)
No foreign language help, only menus etc. ( expect that may get done at some point)
SEARCH
Enables the search with the last configured setup. The second keypress opens the
"Search" menu, where you can perform a search for various events in an acquisition -
for example, peaks or specific width conditions - and analyze the search results.
Looks like this R&S scope has stolen the limelight away from Keysights new offering. Maybe saving your money and getting a 'real' scope was good advice from Keysight

Q. Does the ADC run at 10-bits even at 1mV/div?
A. Yes. You also get full bandwidth. The scope also has very good noise for this class of instrument.
I saw runt pulse triggering in one of the documents (there are many) on their site, same for event search. Math/s functions do seem limited however. I've found from my reading and demo watching (there are series of app demos on their site too) that there's much that is in this scope that's not in the current version of the manual.
Here's the trigger system document that says it has runt pulse triggering: https://cdn.rohde-schwarz.com/pws/dl_downloads/dl_common_library/dl_brochures_and_datasheets/pdf_1/service_support_30/RTH_Faster_ac_en_3607-3339-92_v0100.pdf

No but its competing with their other scopes, ( like the 3000X

Half an order of magnitude price difference.
I investigated into this, and this was promotion was offered to our European distributors as well. But none of them were ready to take this on (it's beyond me why). The closet we got is with Farnell who have this going on currently,
http://uk.farnell.com/rohde-schwarz/rtb2k-com4-launch-edition/rtb2004-complete-bundle-300-mhz/dp/2723153?ost=RTB2004+COM4&selectedCategoryId=&categoryNameResp=All&searchView=table&iscrfnonsku=false
So, for the price of a 300MHz model, all the options all included free of charge. It's never to say that we will not have the same deal in Europe as we run promotions every 6 months. So watch this space.
There has to be some anti-competitive laws against that
I don't know if this has clearly been stated this anywhere but the MAX FFT sample size is 10M and not 128k on the RTB2000 series . I confirmed this with the local R&S branch today.
