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.

Name calling to deflect what I really said, is not necessary.

I don't accuse you of anything. I just say that you recommend stuff for other people to buy it for their money, at their own expense (money and time) without assuming any responsibility for that. That makes you to be in much easier position, and frankly, much less responsibility.
While at the same time Rob is not here incognito, and if he screws up he suffers consequences...
Therefore, because of selling this stuff for living, he actually infers credibility from that.

Yes he can be intense sometimes, but honesty and credibility is not lacking with him.
He will yield to facts, truth and state of the matter. Don't expect him to sell Rigol.
He might even smack talk about it (which, frankly, Rigol sometimes makes so easy) but will not lie about it.

If DHO800 has 3 trigger modes more than SDS1104X-E  than is the fact. It also have 2 less serial protocol/decode. Also fact.

OTOH, you can say whatever you want, and nobody will throw a stone at your window. We don't even know what country you are in, what your name is, where you live. You could be AI for all we know (if you are, though, please let me know which company so I can buy shares, because, brilliant ;D).

And here I'm not implying that I think you are dishonest somehow.  But once upon a time, I did made comment to you that you seem to get really enamored with some idea or product and then get overly optimistic and too sensitive if someone says something about it... Like we are insulting your enthusiasm or something.
And you shouldn't feel like that. But your energy should be redirected from "fighting the infidels" to helping your community.
And honestly, I see you are contributing quite a lot lately for DHO800. Keep up the good work. Look for the bugs. Explore, find things you think could be better. Share it on EEVBLOG in appropriate topics. Let Rigol see them.. Work towards DHO800 really become as good a product as it can be and not only a promise of one.
That is generally better way to live your life in positive way..

As that, really cheesy, proverb says "Don't be a part of a problem. Be part of solution".

Be well.

I thought it was "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the solvent."

MSO gives you 20 channel scope of which 4 are analog. And correlated in time. Only you can know if that is useful to you..

--- End quote ---

No doubt - I was suggesting cheap USB LA as an alternative because the SDS1104X-E is already stretching the OP's budget. And as you mention even though it lacks some useful properties of an integrated MSO, a cheap USB LA is still useful in many, many situations.

On a completely separate topic, I think that if the OP can hold out a few weeks until Black Friday season my guess is that there will be good promos on low-end scopes.  Not that I have any kind of inside info, I just guess that the Rigol DHO800 release might encourage some discounting to move 8-bit stock.

I read about a bunch of hacks around them in the forum, but is it pretty much a locked model with these licenses? Not that I need speed hacks etc. at least atm.

The SDS1104X-E is not perfect, but quite good despite a few flaws and somewhat aged design.  Don't buy it for the LA capabilities though.  The rest of the options can be hacked and you most certainly should hack them.  IDK about the SDS1104X-U in that regard.

I haven't tried it myself, but the Rigol DHO804 looks like a good option to me, especially if it is cheaper.  It's smaller, has touch-screen, VESA100 mounting and HDMI out, in addtion to the 12-bit and other headline features.  Which one is better for you I coudn't say, but my best guess is that either would suffice.  Don't buy Hantek--just don't.
