tv84:
MSO8000 is "Martial Eagle".

As I sold my 5000, the 70000 wasn´t in mind but that were my thoughts too.
The MSO5000 came up as the cheapest way to buy the new rigol platform - And they won´t spend much more effort to polish it.
This came in my mind as a year after buying has passed and no significant firmware updates were in sight.
But I won´t leave rigol and hopes are lying on the DSO/MSO7000.
Same there and the answer of my question ( will the 7000 have the same (noisy) frontend as the 5000 ? Yes..) let me vending my 5000 and changing to siglent.
And what to say, in the first year appearing, there are two significant updates avaible which are not only fixing some bugs, also nice features on board.
This in combination with the much less frontend and much better UI let me never regret to have done the change.
Sad rigol, so sad. :(

Siglent's entry and intermediate level scopes appear to be quite decent, but ask those fellows that put their bet (read: money) on the SDM30*5X series bench multimeters or their top-of-the-range SDG6000X AWGs. They may sing you a different song...
Martin72:
Then they should buy from another brand, everyone´s free to do that. 8)
Noy:
Rigol may have a noisier frontend but who cares if you need BW for digital / analog "high speed" stuff? For these things i'm more confident with my rigol.. Siglent is close to the edge with their bw / sample rate.
And if you need to measure really small signals use an external low noise amplifier...
But yes a bit more polish for example for the Bode plot feature would be nice. This is a thing for what i am envious on siglent. But then i think about my dedicated knobs for each channel and i am happy again ;-)
