Siglent New SDS800X HD First Bactch Unboxing And Tests And Teardown !
Antonio90:
Yes, I do understand the fact that BOM, plus manufacturing and development, plus manufacturer's cut is only part of all the costs involved in putting a product to it's final use. Europe is also quite problematic in terms of compliance, warranty, import taxes etc. The cost includes, of course, support, broadly speaking.
I do value a lot buying from a seller that knows the product, is able to offer guidance, is transparent about delivery time and doesn't wash his hands if something goes wrong.
I'm quite willing to pay a premium on the price of something to get good support, and that is why I only buy dirt cheap stuff from places like Amazon and Aliexpress, and try to support good business models. Sadly, I have yet to find that here in Spain, will try again If/when the SDS1000X-HD is released.
I was making an observation about the usual equivalence in Siglent.com prices vs EU, but I was wrong, and it seems like they fluctuate a lot:
- SDS2104X-PLUS: € 1,467.07 (Current exchange rate YUAN-EURO) That's european price VAT included, more or less.
- SDS2104X-HD: €1,722.66 half the european price. This was unexpected.
- SDS1104X-E: € 674.75 200 bucks higher than EU MSRP. Also unexpected.
- SDS7000A H12. It seems to be free at Siglent.com, or maybe priceless ::)
- SDM3065X. € 1,058.13. €230 more expensive than EU.
There doesn't seems to be any kind of correlation between prices, except for the 2104 plus. The price could be anywhere, really, and if the ratio follows the 2000X-HD (Lecroy partnership terms?) we are in for a surprise. This gets more and more exciting ;D
Certainly, at €300 VAT included, i would buy a SDS800X-HD in a heartbeat. and maybe later a 1000X-HD, but there is no way that price is coming to the west. It would have to cost 200 bucks for the retailers.

I don't find it surprising, the EU price is bad value for such a scope. Suddenly at 2K, with some upgrade leaks the scope would make a lot more sense. The only option for now is to vote with your wallet.

Well yes, maybe I should have phrased it the other way around, I'm surprised it costs twice as much here, although I'm not so sure about the value being bad at all (assuming a few upgrades), as there really is not much competition going against it.
What surprises me more is the fact that between the 2000 plus and the HD there is only 300 bucks difference.
The HD is significantly better in many regards, and quite a bit more powerful.
I mean, the 2000X-HD could be well worth € 300 more than the 2000X-Plus even if it had an 8 bit ADC. I would be surprised if they sell many 2000X+ in China at all, unless the hack is not known there.

It is actually still too cheap for what it has and can do.
It completely outperforms the RTB2000 series and in parts even the Waverunner 4000HD from Lecroy.
I don't know what yardstick you're using to say that the price is too high.

How is it too cheap?.. Do you want more mock-up on the EU price on this Siglent scope vs the rest of the world's prices, because what?
You like the brand, or you purchased that model, - it can also get to ludicris with EU region mockups, in regards to what the rest of the globe pays for the same unit, and that's a shame for the attractive units, and undermine all parties.
Thx for the region-compare Antonio90, always interesting to sense differences across regions, even though they will fluctuate quite a bit from other factors - like many items tends do these years.
