The $300 is wrong, it is actually 350 for a "donor" DHO802.

There's a new firmware out there that mentions an "edu" version so maybe there might be a cheaper one soon.

It's not something I'd attempt though. That sort of mod is for tough guys only.

Antonio90:
It's quite risky indeed. I wouldn't either, as I have no clue about reballing or PCB rework, nor suitable equipment for that matter.
A professional service would make the affair quite a bit more expensive, and, of course, you would have to forfeit the 3 years warranty.

Wait for the big discounts on the DHO4000 then.  ;)

I think they might come, as Rigol must follow up with a model that supports AWG and LA options. It seems a bit absurd in this price class to have a "bare oscilloscope" model only. And the front panel looks half-empty too...

Antonio90:
It would have to be a really big discount. The above "shenanigans" would already be at the top of my price range, and I don't really need 800MHz nor have any active probes.

I would suspect that anyone really needing 800mhz equipment is just going to buy a device properly rated for the task.  Seems like those frequencies are well outside the average hobbyist's need.

Getting a base model 70mhz scope and being able to upgrade it to 200mhz (knowing the front end is amply capable) is a pretty good deal itself.
