Indeed, the whole concept of a fully functional oscilloscope for under a 1000 was Rigol's doing, as is the 500 bucks market.

In fact the hate almost always comes from people with financial interest in Siglent or engineers with multi-thousand scopes owned which make a living out of them. I wouldn't bat an eye for a few thousand € in software, server or computers for work either.
But a second hand 150 euro PC is more than enough for me at home.

nah, the """hate""" comes from getting unfinished pieces of garbage and while they have redefined the market three times (1052, 1054 and the new 12bit low cost) and forced others to drop prices and make much better quality instruments more accessible, they remain unfinished pieces of garbage. Every time rigol releases something i'm disappointed because they seem wasted potential. Not only in oscilloscopes.

And i'm actually disappointed in siglent having to follow rigol lately, though their 800 series looks much less like a cheap toy

What do you mean, "lately"? They followed Rigol's 1052 and 1054Z lead as well, didn't they? With arguably better products, but later market entry -- when all the "best new entry level scope" guides had been written and videos produced, so Siglent never gained the same mass-market visibility.

Maybe they are fed up with that and really want to show Rigol and the world this time? Here's hoping for killer prices on the 800 and 1000X HD range.  ;)

However, I don't believe in the prices "leaked" here, at least not for the global market (I also don't believe that there will be a 70Mhz version available here).

While this seems correct for SDS1000X HD models, my English SDS800X HD datasheet suggests otherwise.

Aha... :D

I agree with general sentiment / hating on Rigol (I've hated them since I once briefly made the mistake of purchasing a 1054Z). But your statement of Siglent following them is inaccurate. Siglent's products come out later, because they're better developed, and that takes time. Releasing unfinished products in alpha stages will always come out faster than products that actually go through proper development and beta testing before hitting the market.

And a great way to lose customers.
I spend the money, I should get a finished product, or would them accept a 50% payment now and 50% when it's done?
I want a product that works out of the box properly, maybe some minor bug, but not waiting 2 years to get it sorted.
