What are you accusing me of? NOT being blinkered by brand names? I'll take that as a compliment.  :-DD

PS: That speaks volumes about your world view.

You tend to have a vendetta against Siglent for some reason. 🤷

So it will be hobby/repairs kind of usage, and the last time I used one was when tube ones were dominating. Doesn't need to be a fancy one, but better for the money perhaps?

Suggestions or recommendations?

The Hantek likely won't be a good buy. Other options to look at are GW Instek (GDS-1054B for example) or the MicSig TO1000 series. Both are solid performers with mature firmware that won't throw you a nasty surprise in the form of a bug. But it depends on whether those are available for your budget in your country as prices vary widely.

After owning a Micsig I'd never go back to using a stupid twisty knob as a user interface. Not with all the menu-diving modern 'scopes need.  :scared:

I also prefer devices with small footprints.

This new Rigol seemed like the logical next step - excellent specs, more features, smaller footprint, and the price was right.

Branding played no part in the decision.

(the Siglent-or-death brigade that hangs out here? That's a mystery to me  :-// )

I'm not a brand loyalist, but I will always come back for excellent customer service, good value, good products, etc. That's been my experience with Siglent.

Personally, I like the knobs. I think the combination of knobs and touchscreen is perfect. I like the idea of a 12bit (or better) scope, but I don't like that they have less knobs/physical buttons on the HD version.

I'd consider a scope from another brand if there was something that I needed that my Siglent SDS2504XP didn't offer. But there isn't currently, as it's beyond my needs and skills. I do have a LeCroy HDO4104A on my wish list for the hell of it. 🤣
