unfortunately DS1052E has. from 50Mhz to 100MHz.
Sorry, Mecha - but the DS1052E is no competitor to this scope at all. I've used that scope - and this one is at least 200% better - not just the 60% more that it costs. The closest competition is the Agilent DSO-X 2002a - which costs 25% more but has way smaller memory, way fewer triggers, etc, etc.
bandwidth is the main feature. others are mostly bells and whistles that follow. YMMV.
I guess for you - certainly not for me (and others, I'm sure). I do the majority of my work at <=50MHz - and having 'bells and whistles' like 9 triggers, 14MPt, 50k wfrm/s, etc, are going to save me time in design and debugging. But if amount of $ per MHz of BW is your bottom line, then, yes, this scope is not for you.
if rigol want this model to go boom, they should leakout some informations
Well, it is interesting that all three scopes in the DS2000 line are 2GSa/s
