Only one year warranty... ???
Ah, you can buy additional warranty time, clever. ;)

I can’t help but think these new R&S scopes are underbaked and being rushed to market.

Still waiting for them to release something fast for baseband analysis in high-speed serdes design. They promised me one 5 years ago, and I'm still waiting!

Well, we spent over 4 years developing our own ASIC for the MXO4, which now has the fastest waveform update rate in the world (plus the deepest standard memory, our patented digital trigger, etc. etc. etc.). 

Since the cat is already halfway out of the bag (and will be all the way out of the bag in about 8 more hours), the MXO5 leverages a lot of those years of R&D we put into the MXO4.  And work on the MXO5 began long before the MXO4 was released last year.

No test and measurement instrument is brought to market with every feature and option available on the first day.  Sure, we'd like to do that, but the reality is that we have plenty of customers who buy our scopes (and spec ans, sig gens, VNAs, power sensors, etc.) and use them successfully with the features and options that are available today. 

I spent over 20 years as a field applications engineer working with T&M customers, and I can assure you that almost every customer has something they'd like us to add to even our most mature products.

So if we're releasing "underbaked" products, I'm not sure what else we could be doing - but we're always looking for feedback! :)

Cheaper or not, that is the question..
First I thought yes it must be, because of 100Mhz bandwith - But this is a eight-channel version...
