I heard it's forbidden here in Spain because it falls under gambling laws even though I'm not actually betting anything.

I have contacts in the UK so I no problem giving them a UK address. Probably have to fly over and pick it up in person after Brexit but I'll figure out a way for a $10,000 'scope.

I would not bet on a new ASIC.  The advantage of an ASIC over an FPGA is possibly lower power consumption at the same performance. However ASICs can not use the high end processes as FPGAs due to the very high mask costs. So the advantage is getting smaller and smaller - if there is any left at all.

If at all a ASIC would be thing for high volume, low cost solutions, or if there is no access to high end FPGAs but only cheap not so high end chips. This would not be KS, but more Rigol / Sigilent.

I wonder whether, at at corporate level, the folks at Keysight are alert to the competition, which does seem to have improved significantly in the last few years.

It seems like the exiting days of Keysight are over.
- Very few youtube videos
- No more "Scope Month"
- Daniel is hiding
and so on ....

Maybe they are concentrating more on the high end UXR scopes.

I still love the Keysight scopes.
For one project I needed to decode the SENT protocol for the first time and the 4000x and the 6000x do a perfect job on that end.
So, Megazoom IV is still working well for my applications.
