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

Or get the SDS804X HD as a stopgap until it's clearer to you if a 2k or 3k HD will be worth it to you.

I have SPL2016. This only fit SDS3000X HD, not for SDS800X HD or SDS1000X HD.

Firstly, device is new, so, I may encounter potential hardware issues.

Secondly, I will be deprived of features like LA, which I frequently use, as I cannot hack it for now. This is significant to me because software options are beyond my budget...

As an electronics hardware engineer, I would like to point out that the issues on new devices are often firmware issues rather than hardware issues ;)

To elaborate, I have already sold my Siglent SDS1104X-E for $500 and finalized a $200 deal with a buyer for my Tektronix 2430A, which has only one working channel. Additionally, I intend to sell my SDS2104X Plus for minimum $1,250. Altogether, create total budget of around $2K from these three devices. With the potential tax advantages, I would only need to pay around $1,000...

Perhaps the question becomes clearer: "Is it worth investing $1,000 for the new features?"

Completely out of curiosity: I couldn't see a SDS3014X HD model among the recent offerings, only SDS3104X HD. If so, it has a retail price of 6k EUR before tax from various vendors in EU. What sort of a potential tax advantage brings the price down from 6k EUR to $1k with $2k in hand?

The cheapest offering in this category is SDS3034X HD and it retails for 3.4k EUR before tax (EU retailers price; probably will be much more expensive in Turkey due to various taxes), so I am not sure how the calculation works out to $1k final expenditure in this case, either.

Yes, but you could keep the 2000X+ and still have high bandwidth and a higher class instrument, combined with 12 bits at lower frequencies.

In any case, and until prices are updated one way or another, the 2354X-HD is now more expensive in most stores than the 3034X-HD. If you were to upgrade to the 2000X-HD, an e-mail to the retailers would be in order to check for a discount over the list price. Right now batterfly prices are way lower than any other retailer in the EU (for the 2000X-HD). The 2204 is €400 lower than the 2104 at Batronix or Welectron.
