Oscilloscope recommendation DS1054Z / SDS1104X-E / GDS-1104B / etc?

[2N3055]

A person comes and asks for  replacement for his old and trusty analog scope.  He never mentioned he wants scope in a kit.

But then the discussion turned to Bode plots, and the AD2 has one of the best for half the price of a 'scope setup.

Try to keep up.

I'm not going to feed the distraction/trolling.. Bode plot was mentioned because only Siglent has it of the 3.
And then a "Siglent bad" shit happened. As in 12000USD scope is better than Siglent SDSD1104X-E.. No shit, Sherlock...

If you are in 300-400 USD range, no scope will beat Rigol DS1054Z (or GDS-1104B in USA in which case go with Instek). At 500-600 USD SDS1104X-E is king at the moment.. Still

Let's wait and see what market new, new devices from Rigol and Siglent will add to confusion, until there is enough evidence to sort out who overpromised, who is too expensive  and who did good..etc....

Perfect one line summary of dozens of threads with hundreds of messages.

We really need a sticky for this.

Where can i get that for $300-$400?
Here in Europe, it's closer to $540.
Even on Aliexpress it costs around $440 shipped. With import taxes also more than $500.

You should always compare prices. 
It's good to know a few dealers with reasonable prices.
Since I'm not in a hurry, I'm waiting for the Rigol DHO800 to see where this ends up in Europe in terms of price.

How do y'all think the MSO5000 does for the upper ~1k territory of scopes? I have been on the same grind of reading many threads on here about hacks for a few of the popular ones.

Also are the biggie o scope makers expected to release some near gear soon? Maybe I should wait before I buy my first one I guess....

Please take this discussion to one of the thousands of topics that discuss that class of scope. It is off topic here...

Depend on what you want to use it for. If you're working with little mV analog signals all day long then it's not a good choice. If you're mostly working at 5V or 3.3V and need high bandwidth and lots of memory then it's a bargain.
