In fact it´s dead.. ;)
Joke aside, it´s awesome quiet, only to hear while booting.

Sueco:
The thing is, I'd like to have 1GHz BW, but I don't truly require 1GHz BW, I guess 500MHz will be more than enough since the highest frequency circuit I've ever designed is an ISM 433MHz RF transmitter, and as such a 1GHz spectrum analyzer was enough to test it. I don't plan to use active probes, I use HV differential probes but they don't require an active probe interface, but having that option is a plus, of course. Having very good DC accuracy is very important for power applications, during efficiency analysis a 2% deviation in both current and voltage can throw your measurement out of the window in some cases. So the 5000X has all that I wish to have and the 2000X HD all that I need to have. Maybe the 3000X will have both, and that's why waiting was one if your suggestions? However the pricetag might be an issue there, since I expect them to be significantly more expensive than the 2000X HD which are already slightly over my alloted budget...

tautech:
Yep this is a real thing when next models up might cost more than a $1300 1.5 GHz SSA3015X Plus analyzer.
Spend less and have both ?
Only you can make these choices.

Interesting fact is that SDS2000X HD has large (much larger that other scopes) offset range. Useful with power electronics work.
500Mhz is more than enough for general purpose scope, especially for power electronics..

Performa01:
The main advantages of the SDS5000X have been mentioned (sample rate, memory, probe interface, max. bandwidth), but we should also not forget the downsides, namely the limited resources, so for instance we get no filter functions, no memory traces and only two math channels.

As has been indicated, hacking the SDS5034X results in an SDS5104X only on paper; in reality it has a different HW and can never reach 1 GHz. As far as I remember, practical bandwidths were around 850 MHz.

The SDS2000X Plus/HD series has a max bandwidth of nominal 500 MHz (with up to two channels), which is actually measured as ~600 MHz. On my specimen of the SDS2504X HD the frequency response is only 1.4 dB down at 500 MHz. So you can use the instrument for 70 cm projects, both in the time (y-t mode) as well as frequency domain (FFT), no worries.
