For low end scope like this, the odd for someone paying for a bandwidth upgrade is pretty low, perhaps that's why they packaged it with the low end probes. It would be nice if they package the nicer probes with it.

Especially, when nowadays a 1400 bucks scope wasn´t low-end anymore, but this is off topic here.
@Gandalf_Sr
What excatly you want to do with the rigol, when you have the keysight already?

Don't try to talk me down off the ledge, I want to jump!
NoisyBoy:
Gandalf_Sr, I hate to burst the bubble. But with the scopes you already have, I would be one who would pull you back on the roof.
Unless Rigol release a big update with more reliable firmware and new features, I don't see what the MSO5000 has to offer that you don't already have. Better save the money and spend it on a new equipment type you don't already have. If you run out of ideas, buy a vintage piece with some historical significance that can serve as a conversation or display piece.
nctnico:
Agreed. Or if you really want to try something new then look at the recent Siglent models.
NoisyBoy:
Agreed, my experience with SIGLENT on its firmware updates is much better. Tautech is also building a lot of goodwill for the brand. On the other hand, I have never seen Rigol acknowledging any of the issues we identified on its products. If I have to choose between the two, SIGLENT wins hands down, just simply for the fact that they care about this forum has to say.
