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.

The rollout of the new HD scopes is a bit of a bumpy ride. I understand that Siglent may face supply issues beyond their control, hence struggles to supply the new scopes to all their distributors. But why cant they get the distributors to roll out the new prices consistently?!

Might it be the case that Batronix and Welectron are still sitting on stock of the 2000X HD which they bought at the higher prices -- while Batterfly managed to sell these units off in time, and is already selling a new batch bought from Siglent at the lower price? I hope not; it would seem like a bad idea if Siglent "punishes" distributors for keeping local stock. Hopefully distributors would receive a credit towards the difference between the higher price they paid and the new price?

Maybe it isn't Siglent's doing, and the dealers are trying to get the most revenue possible out of their stock, taking advantage of the fact that new devices might not be available for a couple months still.
But yeah, either that, or Batterfly is being extremely agressive price-wise.

Batterfly has very decent prices on average, and free shipping above a certain amount (IIRC, 100€ for Italy, 400 € rest of EU)
I have enjoyed really good customer service from them.

Another shop to check is EleShop. They have a 'lowest price guarantee' and, by recent (last week) personl experience, they'll make good on that no question asked (some preconditions apply).
 It was, in fact, wrt to a Batterfly price, which did not have stock available.

No affiliation with either, just a happy customer.

The reality is price reductions are for new stock not stock on hand previously sourced at higher prices.

Then it probably was agressive pricing. They had quite a few 2000X-HD in stock on february, I doubt it was all new.

Ouch, that can get nasty for the dealers then. So what do you do when you are still sitting on old, expensive inventory when Siglent lowers the prices? Hope to find some not-so-well-informed buyers at the old price, or accept a loss and sell at the new lower price, or sit on that inventory forever since customers buy for the lower price elsewhere.

Batterfly is out of stock on the whole SDS2000X HD series, so they can happily offer the new reduced price. Batronix has most models in stock, presumably still bought at the old price -- tough luck for them, it seems?

You get wise not to order too much stock.....
