signal generator advice
nctnico:
I'm not saying Rigol is better quality wise but IMHO Siglent has been sticking to the tiny screens on their low end generators for way too long (over 10 years already) which makes operation cumbersome compared to the competition.

That is why on that series Rigol put in a large screen and forgot to put in loading of customer arbitrary waveforms into arbitrary waveform generator.
Excellent choice of priorities.

Yep. Classic :-DD

Yes, the ability to prioritise effectively is an essential part of good product management. However, I'm going to agree with nctnico on this. To see Siglent use the same, tired, years-old small touchscreen and mediocre UI on their 'new' SDG1000X Plus series is disappointing. I at least, think they could do more and still not risk quality and the reputation they've earnt.

Big screen seems like a good thing.
But despite "tired old mediocre UI" that Siglent is fully featured AWG, and that fancy looking Rigol AWG is not really an AWG if it cannot load arbitrary waveforms by user.
Form over function.
