Should I replace my Siglent SDS2014X Plus oscilloscope with SDS3014X HD?

No problem at all, I didn't interpret your comments that way.

Regarding the product's specifications, there seems to be some confusion. For instance, while the website states that the FFT is 2 Mpts, certain documents indicate it's 4 Mpts.

I'm currently developing a mobile application that relies on FFT, and I occasionally use my signal generator and oscilloscope for verification purposes. Therefore, FFT resolution is also useful for me. Could you clarify which specification is accurate?

On the other hand, it would have been helpful if there were some videos or information regarding the product's new features and box contents.

On SDS3000xHD max FFT length is 4Mpts.
There is linear and log frequency axis.
FFT is quite fast.
ERES is up to 4, both as acquisition and math function.
It has faster WFMs/s than previous gen.
4 math channels.

It is very responsive to user input.
It has extended input voltage offset ranges.

Mind you, they are both variable speed, so even SDS2000xHD can be quite loud if ambient temp is 37 °C..

Time to put away the scope and get out the beer !  :P

If the prices for an SDS2104X HD with the SDS2XHD-BND offer were to fall accordingly, I might become weak again. But that would be very very very unreasonable of me.

Nobody would buy a 350Mhz SDS2000X HD for 5000€ when they can get a SDS3034XHD for 4000€, so the price HAS to come down, at least that's what I think.
The difference between 2000X HD and 3000X HD is there, but (2N3055 can correct me) it shouldn't be as big as a change from 2000X plus to 2000X HD.

What do you want to gain?  the SDS3000X HD line looks very nice, but as far as functionality over the 2104X+ w/hacks it seems to me that the active probe connections, better UI (I'm assuming), somewhat lower front end noise w/ 12-bit ADC and increased BW (if you get that option) would be the main things you'd get.  If you aren't looking to buy the specialized Siglent probes that use the specific connector provided--or LeCroy probes with an adapter--then I'm not sure what you'd get.  With regular BNC connectors and passive probes, 500+ MHz seems to be enough scope for me.  I'm pretty sure a fully hacked SDS2104X+ is more useful than a better scope that I can't afford the options on.  I do use PA feature, for example.  The things that I'll admit I'd like to have are the gated measurements, the additional trigger modes and the 4 math channels with ERES/average/etc back in the acquisition menu rather than using up a math channel.  I assume the SDS2000X+ is that way because it is a bit short on processor power.

I'll note that the SDS3000X HD appears to have the same old 1024 x 600 screen and no direct video out.  A 12" Full-HD screen and HDMI out would impress me more.

There are SDS2000X HD price changes coming but not as you might think.

Best advice I can offer is to get SDS2104X HD if you are interested in this platform.....
