I'm deciding between the Rigol DS1054Z with all the options or the Siglent SDS1202X-E ...
Any advice?
Would it not be a better comparison with the Siglent 4ch scope? I know it is more expensive, but at least it would be apples to apples. Besides the price, having 4chs is what made the 1054Z king of the hill in the entry level scope market.
Sorry, should have clarified it a more bit. I compared the scopes because they are in the same price field - even if they got other features.
4 channels is not mandatory for me, 2 are enough. I was interested in the overall quality, since the unlocks for the DS1054Z are free at the retailer I'm going to buy either scope,
that means no need for hacks, since it's coming installed already.
The other answers also helped me a lot, I'm going to buy the Siglent. Thanks guys.
