...all the while totally ignoring that fact that Siglents aren't all sunshine and unicorns either and that some people simply don't care if their FFT is a bit rubbish or that the input amplifier overdrives by a tiny amount if you go into the 200mV range then manually tune the gain up to 400mV.

For the price of a 4-channel Siglent you can have a DS1054Z and a very nice multimeter. I'm just recognizing what's better value for people who don't know what op-amp overdrive is and don't care if the internal oscillator follows the design guidelines or not, just so long as it works.

Good Will Instek, the "Macbeth" of oscilloscopes.  :box:

Nope. The R&S is on loan. Over the years I have owned oscilloscopes from about every brand out there (except for Lecroy but that is because an Ebay seller didn't know how to send something outside the US).

Yes, and I've heard that the dealers have had to get big price discounts approved so they can sell it competitively. If you are spending say $3-5k then it's a different ball game.
