I have tried to find most info in other posts, but it's a broad topic in general. I had a Keysight E36313A all ordered up, but I chickened out. $2.5K CAD was too much of a stressor; how to explain it to the better half?
So, I reset the whole exercise. The Aim TTi MX100TP appears to match the requirements. But, then the Instek GPP-4323 appears to have similar specs, at half the price. So, what am I missing?
One post had the comment that at the price range being discussed (~$1.5K CAD) that the spec range was what is to be expected no matter what the 'brand'. To get to the next snack bracket, it would be the E36313A for the extra $1K.
I am fine with the AIM TTi at about $1.5K. It is hard to ignore the Instek, but I don't want to end up with a lower quality item. You get what you pay for, so is the answer really obvious, that at the $1.5K price range, the AIM TTi really is twice the item (durability, usability, really meeting spec, etc) over the Instek?
