I don't know if R&S is still doing it, but last year they were offering a fully loaded scope for $9999 US. I don't recall what kind of probes you got with the deal, but it included all options unlocked! No small amount of change still, but a hell of a deal compared to the 3 and 4 series if you have the disposable income (or budget if you are a business).

We're still doing it until the end of June. :-+ Certainly not something a hobbyist would likely buy, but for a fully loaded, 4 analog plus 16 digital and 1GHz of BW, it's a pretty good deal and allows some companies the ability to get way more than they expected for their budget.

Test equipment is a bit like cars. As soon as you drive them out of the lot their value drops considerably. Explains why ebay is doing well with 2nd hand gear ;)

That's true, but it depends on the gear. Stuff like network analyzers that cover 26.5GHz and beyond still command pretty steep prices (even if they are a fraction of the original purchase price). Same goes for wideband oscilloscopes.

Just to redress the balance a little, below is the most comprehensive comparison of current digital oscilloscopes from many ranges and vendors.
