To be fair, they made it quite clear via the front panel and UI design that they were not serious about this series. :P
Never trust a design team which uses fake electroluminescent (?) digits, does not know how to draw a sine wave, and arranges the number pad in a circle...

Seems they finally got the memo and changed the circular number pad on the DG5000 PRO series, though the UI seems to be identical to DG800/900PRO.
https://www.rigol.com/products/DG_detail/DG5000_Pro DG5000PRO seems to be a Sig'gen series that price-wise will be around 4000 to 7000€ here in the west.
To be fair. the circular number pad doesn't bother me, as I don't use it, and likely wouldn't even if it was rectangular, - its so much more convenient to use the number pad on the screen.
The relatively big 7" screen is a huge plus.. do enjoy that, on these modern signal gens that are packed with features and also like the mobility from running it on power banks, but one gotta wonder where Rigol's heads were when they decided to put these hysteric noisy fans in their latest signal gen & scope-lines, not least when it was an area Rigol prioritized on last gen signal gens without the "PRO" where Rigol glorified how they managed to make them passive, and what a joy that would be.

I don't think we can fairly say that the Magnova is 'a little more money'. However good it might prove to be, that series is vastly more expensive than the Rigol models mentioned previously in this thread.
...but you can compare it with the DHO4000. It doesn't look any better there either.

You can, but no one here really recommends high end rigol gear. The value is in the low end parts (<$1000), which re-use the tech from the DHO4000.
$2700 gets you the Magnova BMO100, that is way more than I'd ever spend on a scope, and its only 100MHz. Unless someone figures out how to hack it, then maybe the value proposition goes up a bit.

Only until December, if the 'Introductory offer' pricing is to be believed. Then it jumps up by a further ~500USD, as far as I can make out from Batronix' listing.
