Rigol North America Black Friday sale on DHO1000 series
geostep:
I bought the DHO1074. I had been eyeing the 800 series. But the main attractions to me of the 1000 series are the easy "upgradeability" to a 1204 and the larger 10.1" screen. Being a hobbyist, bode plot was not a consideration. And, well, 40% off is a healthy amount of savings.
Also as others have said:
DHO800 - Max BW 100 MHz; 1.25Gsps 25Mpts; 7" 1024×600
DHO1000 - Max BW 200 MHz; 2Gsps 50/100Mpts; 10.1" 1280×800

Plus higher waveform update rates, 10 MHz reference input/output, optical encoders on the front panel, defined jitter spec, CAN & LIN decoders...
And probably internal 50 Ohm input paths, inherited from the DHO4000 platform, which may however never be unlockable.

The only mild concern that I had w.r.t investing in the 1000 vs 800 is that I'm forming the opinion that this Black Friday offer is something of a fire sale for the 1000 series.
I'm beginning to suspect that Rigol will discontinue the original DHO1000 series, given that:
* Their product management seem to be struggling to properly define and differentiate the value proposition and use-case for all of the current product line members
* Sales of the 1000 probably haven't been stellar historically and likely took a real beating with the release of the 800 and 900
* The 1000U has just been announced in China, with slimmed down specs, hardware and price
* Amazon UK now list the 1074 as "Currently Unavailable", as opposed to temporarily out of stock. Which could be interpreted in a number of ways. One might be that Rigol aren't allowing them to accept back orders of discounted stock but another could be that there isn't expected to be anymore stock post the Black Friday sale.
* Rigol aren't just "dumping" old HDO-badged stock. This sale, at least in the UK (and by appearances, the US too) is for current DHO stock
If I'm right, I'm still not hugely concerned hence purchasing a DHO1074 anyway. There's enough commonality in the software to have good reason to believe that enhancements and fixes will continue to come for some time yet, off the back of continued development of the 800/900/1000U/4000.

For the money you've spent on it now, the 1000 is a very good decision, regardless of its future.

I'm guessing Saelig had a run on them. Wonder how many were eevBlog members, LOL. Good thing I'm in no hurry, I guess.
