I certainly spend more time on digital than analog systems and was looking forward to upgrading to MSO capability. (But a less noisy front end than in my current DS1054Z would be nice too...) Ah, decisions...  ::)

If LA is so important to you, I'd recommend to consider buying a decent dedicated PC-based one instead of MSO. They tend to be more convenient to work with and have more features than whatever is built-into MSO. And if you will ever want to see analog and digital captures correlated by timing, a lot of LAs have a trigger input and output to achieve just that, though in ~7 years of owning an MSO I never actually needed that - but maybe your needs are different.

Oh, thanks! I am not sure whether the European Siglent dealers do Blackfriday deals, but will keep an eye out for these; I am in no rush. (Will need to pretend that no purchase happened until Christmas anyway...  ;))

Batterfly has a 10% off on everything, whether it already has discounts/bundles or not. That's 120€/146€ on the SDS2000X+ depending on the bundle.
This might be a stupid idea, but for the price of the Siglent you can get both the MSO5000 and the DHO800 and hack them both. If you DIY the logic probes, you get both the reduced noise and dynamic range and the Mixed domain stuff.

I don't think I'll need MSO capabilities, so I guess I'll wait for the 1000X-HD and decide based on price.

Thanks for the hint! That is a promising, and surprisingly early, start into the season. :) With Batronix' "We will match the best price" promise, there's a second player at the table, and one that is local to me. Let's see whether any other European dealers want to join the Black Friday/Week/November game...

I am not sure whether you can propose that in a Siglent thread.  ;)

Having one scope with very high sampling rate and full 4-channel controls, and another one which is cute and portable, is tempting. But then there would be other compromises vs. the SDS2104X+. Which, by the way, just came out as a bit less noisy than the DHO800 in a quick comparison in a parallel thread. [Edit: That's when using the X+ in 10-bit high-res mode.]

Maybe most importantly: I think the argument "I actually want two scopes for Christmas" would be a difficult sell... And together they would cost 100€ more vs. the SDS2104X+ price, right, (net prices, logic probes excluded in either case)?

Martin72:
Yes, almost 120€ more (incl. VAT) at least at Batronix.
If I were still an MSO5000 owner, buying the DHO804 would indeed be worth considering.
I still think the MSO is the best behind the SDS2104Xplus and if you can't/won't spend almost 400€ more, then that would be the second tip.
But if I don't have that yet, I wouldn't buy 2 scopes and still not get the full quality of the SDS2104X+.

Antonio90:
It seems I cannot add. Yeah, it's 99 more (899+399), unless you get the 8072, as you already have probes from the DHO800.

If you have little bench space but enough close storage space, the 800 with a VESA mount is a nice daily driver, and the MSO5000 can come out when needed. But yeah, one scope is enough, especially if it's better.
