Hi,
I had exactly the last one in mind, but we can continue here because it's only about the differences between these two.
As I said, I had both models, the 2000Xplus for 2 years and the 2000X HD for just over 1.5 years.
Let's start with the exterior: the HD model looks more compact despite the same screen size.
On the other hand, it looks a little better finished (the aluminum handle...
), both inside and out.
And better rotary encoders.
Technical....
Fan control, so the scope was almost dead quiet.
I found the general performance to be "faster", with the exception of the Bodeplot, which is equally slow on both.
Despite the same screen resolution and size (and I bet it's the same type), the display on the HD is generally sharper/finer, which I really liked.
You can tell that the hardware of the HD has more "power" by the fact that ERES and Average can be found in the Acquisition menu (but also as a math function).
So I didn't have to "sacrifice" a math channel for it (which later became somewhat obsolete, as there were 4 instead of 2 channels after the first update).
I'm pretty sure that there will also be features in the future that can only be realized on the 2000X HD.
All in all, I felt that the extra expense for the HD model made sense - and I paid the old price for the 100Mhz.
Now you can get the biggest model (350Mhz) for a little less...
I think it makes sense to switch from the 2000Xplus to the HD, especially after the price drops of the entire 2000X HD series.
I find it less sensible to switch from the 2000Xplus to the 1000X HD, which is quite similar in price.
