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

I don't think Sercan is a jerk.  It seems like he's tempted by a shiny new scope that just came out.  It is tempting... more bandwidth and more resolution and the price is high but not insanely high.

My take on this is that it you don't lose anything by waiting.  If the equipment you have now meets your needs, keep using it.  You can always buy the SDS3000X HD later.  By that time, more reviews will be available, and maybe more of the bugs will be fixed.  These things always have bugs when first released.

here is my "different" feedback vs an alternative to a Siglent 2K+ hacked scope (given that I guess any 2k+ scope are full options & 500MHz BW, like mine...)

back to Sercan weird question about : which scope can beat my already "old" SDS2504XPlus scope ?
So far, Sercan did not explain what are his needs etc  but have a high budget : so, he's a jerk. (if I'm wrong, Sercan, explain your work & I apologize, of course)

Back to the topic :
A few weeks ago, I was in the same cogniive brain fog : "I need a more precise "time-domain" "analyzer", so : what's better than my Siglent 2k+ ?
My basic question here was : to trigger higher speed signals.
then,
the anwser is all over the place, whatever the seller  => more BW = price surges like hell vs GHz BW (given that I have in mind only => "rise time", liked to "BW"

I suppposed that if someone is looking for more "GHz BW for bucks", he's dealing with "high speed" signal
=> the right answer is :
- I keep my 2k+
- I buy the GigaWave sampling scope (only 3kEur)

as simple & "cheap" as that...

unless I missed smth...

You missed manners. Why calling a jerk a person that did nothing wrong to you, ever. You don't even know him...
Also he did not insult anybody. He does not have to explain his personal decisions about his life or justify anything to you or me or anybody. And you do have to apologize, for your manner.

To make note, I also think about equipment (and all material stuff in life in general) in terms of usability and like to be rational about it.

In my first post, I respectfully (I hope) tried to say to OP that it is lots of money and tried to help him be "more reasonable" (according to my world view!).
After he explained his "world view" all I could do was wish him good luck and try to help with technical questions.

Like someone said above, I personally don't understand people that buy houses with 8 rooms they will never use, 17 hand made guitars that cost more than a house but rarely play them, buy 100000 € cars to go buy groceries with it.....
But only because I'm like that and I don't understand people that are different than me, that doesn't mean I get to tell them how to live their life. Or call them names.

I have a neighbor that seems to "collect" expensive cars. I'm sure most of his home budget goes to that. I would never do that, but if that makes him happy.. It is his life.

It's nice to be nice. Live and let live.

That's a good point.

Wow! Looks like we've got an Einstein among us.

If you can label people like me as a "jerk," you must possess the intelligence and ethic to do so.

I suppose by stating your opinion in this manner, are you expecting our submission to you like the sun god Ra? I didn't quite get where you're going with this definition.

Anyway, I don't need your apologies as your definitions...  :o

I'm not a professional. 12-bit high resolution will help me capture fine details. Since I'm not an pro, I prefer not to be misled by the values I see on my measuring device. After all, it's just a "tool" to assist me. I am just looking for better "tool". I have many reason, but isn't only 12 bits reason enough?

I wish I were rich, but I'm not. Nevertheless, I haven't seen anyone become richer or poorer by saving on the price difference we're talking about here. I simply don't care about extra spending $200-300 annually for a device I can use for the next 5 or more years. That's why I mentioned it in the first message:
