The big touch screen on the R&S RTB2000 is nice to use but the GW Instek MSO2000 can do filtering and math on the actual data where the RTB2000 uses decimated data. Also the FFT on the GW Instek is 1Mpts versus 128k. It is very hard to justify the extra costs of the R&S RTB2000 versus the GW Instek MSO2000 from a functional perspective. |

Personally I wouldn't buy any of Keysight's current oscilloscope offerings because the memory is too small. You'd think 4Mpts ought to be enough but that 4Mpts is shared so you are left with 500kpts with the digital channels on. --- End quote --- I agree, I wasn't impressed with the Keysight specs, especially for the price. But I'm also not a fan of Instek's footprint, though they are quite competitive on paper. I would love to have an RTB2004, but you're killing me here. I don't need a $2000 scope (as pretty as it is - I want it just for the aesthetic, it would look amazing on my bench ;)). The $300 to $500 range is overkill for my needs, any of these $2000 scopes are well beyond any perceivable ROI for me. A $500 scope pays for itself. A $2000 scope that doesn't do anything better for me just costs me an extra $1500. Thanks, Josh |

I could be kidding myself to get a shinier toy. I am aware of that possibility. --- End quote --- |

But I do like the idea of it. ;) More than that I like the idea of not being limited by the DS1054Z. If I ever need more, I have to replace the Rigol. With the Siglent, I might not need to add to it, but if I want to, I can. |
