Siglent - 11/20 - New SDS1104X-U, 4 channel 100MHz, 1Gsa/s economy oscilloscope
tautech:
Just so we don't forget the real specs of this new 4ch X-U...actually not so new as been available from web shops in China for a little while:
100 MHz bandwidth
1 GSa/s
14 Mpts << see table by rf-loop: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-1120-new-sds1104x-u-4-channel-100mhz-1gsas-economy-oscilloscope/msg3356644/#msg3356644
Waveform capture rates up to 100,000 wfm/s (normal mode) and 400,000 wfm/s (sequence mode)
Decodes: IIC, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN
History and Sequence modes (max 80,000 frames)
Search, Navigate
Gated measurements
Statistics
128 k pts FFT, supports Peaks and Markers
1 mV/div sensitivity
No glare 7" display
Full channel tab info: input attenuation, input coupling, BW limit, Vertical position and V/div.
Of course some cannot open their eyes and plainly see all these things staring at you in website imagery and in datasheets.

If I purchase an SDS1204X-E ($760) or an SDS2104X Plus ($1400), over the course of several years would I save myself more than a week of wasted time compared to using an SDS1104X-U? Are the capabilities of the more expensive scopes going to have a significant impact on how long it takes me to debug problems in my circuits?

It depends what you do. There is no much difference between 1000X-E and X-U for, let's say service work.
And there is lot of difference to 2000X+ if you do some development and want to be able to analyse and capture more.
Martin72:
1000X, 1000X+, 1000X-E, 1000X-U....
Why don“t giving different models more clearer "names" ?
Same with 2000X, 2000X-E, 2000X+... :P

We really need know more.
Each of the 3 have their place but the 1204X-E and 2104X Plus are 200 MHz class DSO's whereas X-U is just 100 MHz.
X-U doesn't have 500uV/div sensitivity and while one normally replies I don't need that, consider what probes you might use with it. Eg with a 100x probe 100mV/div becomes max sensitivity for a X-U. Same applies for differential probes where 200x and 500x are common attenuations.
Do you already have an AWG and if not the SDS2104X Plus has a 50 MHz inbuilt as an option however for a promotional period this is free. Likewise the SDS1204X-E has AWG capability albeit in the form of an additional USB powered box that's controlled within the DSO UI. X-U has none of this.
Are you comfortable with touch displays ? They are faster and especially when partnered with a mouse. Of the 3 DSO's only SDS2104X Plus offers this.
Learning a new UI or any UI for that matter is a cost in time but IMO time is not the only consideration, it is the whole experience including total capabilities that you may not need right now but they're there for you to grow into of use when that need comes along.
I might say get the cheaper X-U or X-E and see how they fit with you with the view to upgrading when the need arises but the SDS2104X Plus has a quite different UI albeit with some similarities to other Siglent DSO's.
However, your budget so your decision as we cannot see your needs through your eyes.
