What? There's no "roll mode" or whatever they call it?
Hmm, that's important if it doesn't exist on some of these potential choices. I use the "transient recorder" feature on the K7103 all the time! I guess I need to read through the manuals of a couple of these possible models to try to spot things like that. :-\

I haven't really eliminated any possible brands at this point, I'm open to all suggestions but I don't want to totally hijack this thread either, perhaps I should start another comparison thread? It just always seems like "what is the best scope" is a done to death thread topic.
That being said, the little bits and pieces I have heard about general quality on GW-Instek gear did not exactly inspire confidence and give me that warm fuzzy feeling and the price in CAD would only be $20 less than than the Rigol since there is no "pay your sales tax" promo on them like on the DS1054Z. I would rather get the ubiquitous Rigol if all other things are equal, even simply due to track record and number sold alone, so any contender needs to be way better bang for the buck by somehow either being far less expensive or way more capable in some ways that would make it more useful to me, hence my interest in the SDS1104X-U vs DS1054Z specifically, as I think I already basically understand where the SDS1104X-E vs DS1054Z divide ends up.

It is not like GW Instek is making scopes to not sell them and they have been in the test equipment business for a long time (probably longer than Rigol and Siglent). Also keep in mind that the GDS1054B is the only one in this price bracket with individual channel controls. Discarding it based on 'a feeling' is a mistake. In my experience the service department from GW Instek is responsive and their quality is just fine (lots of GW Instek gear is sold as rebadges by several A brands).
The best thing for you to do is make a list with pros/cons for each model where it comes to functionality and decide on what is important to you. Quality wise they are all the same.

The reason they weren't historically very popular is in part because they lacked things like serial decoders, but these have been added as standard now. They also cost a lot more than the Rigol.
(Serial decoders could be added by hacking in the serial decoder plugin from a higher-up model but there was no official option)
I haven't owned one myself but I've seen a lot of people say good things about them. For under $300 they seem like a total bargain.
